Neil: Hi So I b introduced 2 Helen by a schitzoid mate @ his habitat in a wee place down da Coast called Southport. Yea I got me neck manipulated and as I recall , it actually worked & ya she had a somewhat banged up and active brain . All in all we bumped INA ea other over +- 12 month period eh. I then picked a 12 month contract in Durbs , and it was in this time line that she passed 2016🤩🪐  Liz posted with the 3 of y'all☯️🕎☪️✝️🤡👍

 

Cally: Okay. I remember she was staying in Southport.  What work are you doing? Where do you live?

 

Neil: Yep your Egyptian born Greek blooded S.A . settled Helen formerly of Uvongo . Her landlord phoned 2 say she 'd had a stroke & she'd asked them 2 contact me . no thing I could do being in durbs ( managed 2 send through a couple of SIG cartons though. Next call is that she'd had a fall went into a coma and died. Oui she told me that she'd Proposed and that you declined (Hope that sums it up 4 u.)

Cally: Yeah it sure does. You were actually starting to sound a bit jamaican 🇯🇲

 

 

Neil: Your ears would say otherwise I'm' sure Hasn't been an absolute waste don't recall having so much time giving birth 2 a lot joyous & hurtful memories ( Here let me say it my Father was a complete arsehole who passed in 1986) His mother passed in 2000 aged 93. Sweet woman. My so called step Mother passed +- 2015 followed by My father’s sister the same year The most hurtful passing was that Sisters child me Cousin Jenny @ the end of 2017 she was only 54 & she leaves a 30+ son & a 19 yr. Old daughter I'm sort of all mourned out 4 sure take care  , here's 2 luving u kiddo🌴🌴🤡👍

Cally: I’m really sorry to hear about all your hardships and heartbreak, life is a bitch for sure. Did you spend much time with your father?

I can’t believe I lived in Durban for years when I worked for the parks board and I never found you. Life is a mystery. Don’t forget to send a pic of yourself

Cally: Yea we seem to be but, in the area, where i live its not too bad. Initially we had so many old people dying in the care homes but that’s slowed down. I work at the doctor’s rooms so see all the figures. And we all have to wear masks in the building and wash our hands all fucking day. But so far no staff have taken ill.

Where my youngest daughter lives in Birmingham it is quite bad there because they are overcrowded and have huge families all living under one roof. Nevertheless, she is coming to stay for the weekend.

 

Neil: There's been a toll of about 18000. Which equate 2 about .033 of 1% of the population & talk about intermittent masks in the queues outside post offices & places like checkers👻😷⭐🤡

26/10/2020

 

Neil: Did you ever see any Audrey Hepburn movies I'm still a fan 🤡🌸😷👍

 

Neil: Well here we go u can pass this on to anyone I can't stop you.OK -  as far as I'm concerned both of my mothers daughters have Crombie as their maiden name. Mr Mike has always taken me 4 a wanker OK.

When I queried mother about Harold I was told that he had been the only man to ever treat her like a Lady & that baby was good enough 4 me . We are talking about the days in S.A.when a husband could beat his wife up and the police would do nothing about it.

 

You do realize That Michael was the only child to ever get me old mums full attention hey.  I mean , he was 24/25+- you were 14 Den 15 & poor Mr  +-9 , She gave me away aged 5 the rest of me formative years were spent with 4 adults strangers in a unloving environment OK @ least I spent the last 5 with her / or sum of them.

 

So 3 months after my 5th I started school in Joeburg nice uniform eh the same year I started a new school with Mickey in Margate nother nice uniform After Easter the strangers sent me 2 an Afrikaans school haha 2 b continued or not.

 

Oui are you not happy that you never Joined the Army?  Just let me know 🌸🌸🧶🤡😷👍💖💖🤩🔥🎶

 

I'll b getting around .2 it all in time sweet my love 👽🎶😷💖💖👍

 

Cally: Yes i do like Audrey Hepburn movies but havent seen any in a while

 

I wish i had joined the army. In the end though, when i was actually old enough had forgotten about it. I think it was because i always wanted to be a boy 😄. Girls always get a raw deal. And as you say quite rightly, in SA the police wouldn't respond to calls about domestic violence. I called them many times during my second marriage. And the cops wouldn't  come.  Even brother Cyril wouldn’t come???

 

I never knew about any of the shit you were put through. I suppose  I was just too young to know what was going on.

 

Maybe Michael has always been a softy and mom thought the rest of us were tougher and could handle anything. She was wrong.   I know you told me that your step mother was abusive and treated you very badly. I can still remember the very first day that you eventually came to live with us. You were dressed so smartly and we were told, this is your brother. I have no memories of you before that

 

Neil: Yea I should have applied 2 the British SAS eh (who dares wins) mind was a bit banged up eh ( would should could ) - she no work 🤡🤡👻💖😷👍

 

Ye dun nae forget the biblical tenants obey your oosband , oh dear

 

Yea I really want u 2 tell your story both your

stories eh still A wee bit of day I don't want 2 loose soo I'll b resuming our tail with a full battery charge in me little old 🛌 that share will 🧸🆒its starting tae drizzle luv ya  📫 in the morning

 

Cally: Okey dokey. Chapter two tomorrow when you have had a good sleep

 

‎27/10/2020

 

Neil: Hi baby girl (just fits sumhow)can stop if it irritates eh . Ya & I'm not in the competing 4 affections market either my luv is forever free ☮️& good will rule So let's c where we were so now you've done the Maths & know I only Met me Da all hairy bald aged 5&a bit So please don't let the next bit b hurtful. So how did The 4 of us end up in Margate ? Our mumsie had a Sister living there whos  hubby was a contractor (Wally). Good destination.& we came down from the by train nappies & all tossed out the window as the iron horse road the steel track.

 

The Vaal .So you see me mums girls share the same DNA.van Aswagen's DNA. (Roy) my first memories are on this farm he worked on & we lived in this cottage. Yea I think both of u were born in Heidelberg whatever Dis guy road 2 work on a horse called Chumy.  Mum let me ride on a tractor with a black driver quiet often up & down ploughing the  fields yep she made the best ginger beer I've had 2 date.

I remember watching Mickey play the tri angle in a school music concert.

 

Yep that came 2 an end I've since been assured by a Nederlander that van Aswagen is Dutch .

 

So no ways did mum slip another man in 2 her life considering the timeline eh!.We moved into a little flat in joeburgs suburbs & Mnr became a fireman. Now here b 2 shitty things ya , sure he'd given both me & Mikey a paddling once or twice. I started school living in that flat & He caught me twice made me sit between his legs holding me hands around his shaft and all till e b dun. Never told Mum or anyone.4 that matter eh. Dis guy must have committed sum other sin or what as Mum dearest locked him out 1 nite so he broke the door and there was glass & blood all over. & that's how we rode that Iron horse outs Dodge city one nite🚂

 

Mum eventually got a job working 4 Liebenbergs the hardware store & we moved from a flat into a cottage behind Liebenbergs - I became introverted & wouldn't go with her when she went social visiting & often thought that was the reason she gave me away.

 

My dad promised he wouldn't leave me a penny when he  and his mother in law dropped me off back at mums.  my Hormones arrived early eh & caused all sorts of sh1t Maureen was a pretty girl & was full of bed time stories often think me da just used me 2 get her broody. I was his possession. No court in the land would give him custody. But still he kept spending his mothers money in court. Her money she told me after he passed yea his mum was really sweet Thing is after giving birth 2 her own Maureen really took it out on  Me.

 

So we try ,& make the best of a bad job & move on eh. Yep my father never Really tried 2 give any instruction every time we sat down he'd ask whats wrong?  then start telling me what a B & W me mum b just good 4 laying on er back. Boasted 2 me as an Adult how e brought tears 2 his daughters eyes telling her about me mum.

 

As 2 any trauma I may have caused u or your sister y'all have had me apologies in spades already.  Oui I'm all b fun for this knight eh 🛌💖🧸

 

So there I was thinking my bone marrow was laced with an incest gene and my grades went to hell started smoking dubbie Then Missy Dawn Potgieter slipped Me a cap LSD, nothing on earth like it I've only taken 2 trips.  Beautiful lady is miss P had her womb wrecked by an Uncle when she was a tot hey & suddenly there I was hitching all over place including S.W Africa ha ha.  coming back the

1st She asked y I hadn't brought Her a boy friend  (but she had her Taxi driver eh) ya she had changed. God she was still so young. - thought she could send me back to me Da.

 

Oui hard it express oneself in such a short space of time with sum nasties eh so I want 2 clean this pot and move on. 2 Top all me Da was nae finished wid me He went up 2 Pretoria wid is Brother In law & signed  sum papers. Had me lined up 4 shock treatment with the Colonel trying 2 wipe me old memories eh.  Treatment the Americans had stopped using a decade b 4.  So the Straff camp on the border pole PT moving boulders with guys who had stabbed their officers & such like Ya Grees Vault da camp was called . So here we are Ms  u are welcome 2 put forward any Questions in the near future Baby girl luv ya ☮

 

Cally: Wow what a story, what kind of life is that for a little boy to live through and come out unscathed. You were put through so much shit. Did mom know about what you went through at the hands if these gruesome adults?

 

Mike thinks that mom was absolutely marvellous but then she seems to have treated him like a prince compared to you. One would have thought that you would have got the priority treatment being so much younger than him

 

You have said sorry to me before and i forgave you a long time ago so rest easy and dont continue to beat yourself up about it.

 

Sleep tight. I’m wondering what the next chapter will be about 📖

Did u ever meet Mom’s mother?  I think she died before i was born.

I’m interested to know what you did after you left cape town.

Chinese horse - In Chinese culture, they represent speed and freedom. Many Northern ethnicities, such as the Mongolians and Manchurians, revere and worship the horse.

Horses are free spirits which need space to be themselves - that is definitely true for you. But people want to put us all in boxes to-be like them

Cally: Id like to see your self portrait if you still have it. Mine was a real shocker- frightened the kids

 

Neil: if you're home alone don't go frightening yourself me dear Happy Halloween ( loved Rudd's harmonica)

 

Cally: I like the Brew with the witch. Is that your logo for selling your ginger beer 🍺

Yea i really like Rudd especially when he plays the dijaridoo. He’s really talented

 

Neil: Yea that was the 1st draught of a label but it will b sum 🕰️ before I get all me ducks in a row eh, that b another story. see we may have a way 2 go yet . How's your story Coming along eh! hope you're friends and talking 2 Denise. Visited Marina beach +- 2003-004 Yea it was still standing Was in Margate on business 4 The Durban Co. So sneaked the bukkie down on the way back +- a yr. Later on a revisit.  Just the balcony was standing and a dik boere seun was digging up the back with a tractor.  luv yah.

 

Cally:  The first time i went back and saw how they were demolishing the old castle i was really upset. I didn’t want to sell the house but neither Den,  nor i had the money for maintenance and it was falling apart and we owed rates etc. My husband didn’t like to stay in jobs for too long and Den was also battling, so nobody had money. So we had to eventually let it go.

At the time as well Frank had just been diagnosed with cancer so it wasn’t an easy time. He wasn’t an easy man either. The physical abuse started after about two years together and then i filed for divorce but a few days later he got the cancer diagnosis so i didn’t think i could walk away when he needed me. He eventually died 6 years later and the abuse just got worse. He blamed me for the cancer and said he hated me right to the end.

 

Neil: Hey sweet baby in your own time and only if u want 2 since I've been here in this little area I know 5 people who have passed from C. Luv your many muches hey

 

Cally: Thanks honey xx. Love the pumpkin xx
