Over 2 years ago I met my best friend. Someone who progressed from being a stranger at a mutual friend's birthday party to a boyfriend to a partner and now my family. Its so amazing how you meet someone and you have no idea how drastically they will change your life, for the better. Its amazing how they come into your life and you feel that something that you were not even aware was missing from your life has just been found.
Today I want to thank God for the gift that is Teboho Innocent Majara. A man who has taught my heart to believe again, a man who came into my life and didn't try to change anything but ended up changing everything. My friend and my partner, my cheerleader in everything that I do. There is no dream that I have shared with this man that he did not support. Even when he probably thought I was crazy he never said but instead he always believes in my dreams and in my goals and he always tells me that there is nothing I cannot achieve. He will stay up late at night, eyes red and full of sleep just to see me finish the latest creative work I have, he will get all excited with me when I share my latest crazy venture. He will drive up and down and leave whatever he needs to do to make sure that what I had to do was done on time and perfectly so.
Wame as I call him, Wame because he truly is all mine. He has never made me feel like I needed to compete for his attention. He never made me question his loyalty and love, it was always freely given without fail. He has been there through times any normal person would have ran in the opposite direction, he has never given up on me even during the times that I was not the prettiest human being to love (believe me I can be a handful at times). His love has always just wanted the best for me and never asked me to be anything that I am not.
Its been an incredible journey with him by my side, one that was not always rosy, not always the nicest to be on and I wouldn't be true if I said we never came across times when we wanted to call it quits, times when it didn't seem like all the hassle. Sometimes he works on my nerves, sometimes he is your typical Sotho man with the stubborn nature to go with it. Sometimes I just wanted to shake the hell out of him because he would upset me that much. But that's the beauty of being together, the hurdles that adds spice to it all, the ingredients that we need to grow and learn. We have learned so much, we have learned that it will not always be easy but God has blessed us with a gift so rare that it is worth fighting for.
The good times, the bad times, the fun times, the tears......they all ultimately got us here today and wen I look back, I know that however imperfect it may have been, it was just perfect for me. There is nothing I would change, nothing I would take back. Its exactly on this road that I have met my soulmate, my partner for life, my pillar of strength and the man who reminds me everyday that I am a queen and deserve nothing less than the best.
Today I want to tell Wame this: Life has a new meaning with you in it. Thank you for filling my life with such joy, thank you for being my hero, for being my strength, for being the one I run to when the world shuts me out. Thank you for being the amazing being that you are and thank you for the assurance that the rest of my life, will be the best of my life. I love you.
