I still don’t believe

Picked up early from school and straight into a meeting with daddy dearest, which is never a good thing. Nervous, scared and worried all mixed into one emotion. My mother is nowhere to be found, very odd considering she’s a stay at home mom.

So my dad sits my brother and I down and says that my mother is in Cape Town, she received some bad news. The obvious thought is death but the death of her father, how wrong I was. He continues on to explain that my beloved aunt, my mother’s younger sister had been involved in an accident and she and her mother-in-law had passed away immediately. My heart sank. I immediately wanted to be in Cpt with my family. My head didn’t allow me to believe it till I had been to her house, ‘seeing is believing’ was my mantra for the entire week until her funeral. In fact come to think of it, I still don’t.
