From one proud mom about her daughter, Yolandi Deysel
“I have so much reason to enroll my daughter in the article.
She was an excellent, loving mother when her first child was born.
By nature, she was always attracted to children, especially babies.
Nothing was or still is too much trouble for her when it comes to her children. Their interests have always come first. What makes her circumstances unique, however, is the sad day almost three years ago when her husband died in a car accident. She was 42 years old at the time. Their eldest daughter Uné 16 years old, Zenike 13 years old and their son Zaiden, 11 years old!
Like any mother, she was devastated and it was a big shock.
She comforted her children, put herself second and with so much dedication took care of each child with so much love and support on her own and took on both roles as a single parent with so much dedication.
It was not easy with 2 teenagers and a son who had a very close relationship with his father and experienced so much together.
3 months later her father was diagnosed with brain cancer and died 6 months later.
Yolandi handled all the trials, sorrows and sometimes rebellion with such dignity and wisdom.
I cannot fail to say that the Lord was her refuge, strength and still is today…
Today they are almost 3 years apart and the oldest is now in her first year at university and the youngest is in his first year at high school. And the result that one sees testifies to this mother’s unceasing tenacity and dedication.
She has fought a thousand battles…and is still standing.
She has cried a thousand tears…and is still smiling.
She has been broken, betrayed,
rejected, but still she walks proud.
She laughs loud, lives without fear, and loves without doubt!
She is beautiful and humble!
She is her children’s hero!
She is my daughter!!
