Found You, Jenna

It has been over two weeks now, since we met outside my house. I wrote about you in my blog the same day, about how much I was looking forward to meeting you the next day. I came out twice to look for you on the scheduled morning, you were not there. I thought of writing my next blog saying “oh! Well, she never came”, but my sixth-sense held me back.

Just yesterday, I was driving back home from salsa class in the evening with my friend Sandy, I pulled by for her to get some stuff from 7-11 and a homeless man came and started bugging me. I was irritated so the way home, we began talking about the homeless people in Muizenberg. I told her about you, that you were special and I had made an appointment with you, but we lost each other, you never left my mind.

This morning, your sun burned-face flashed again in my thoughts, I had many occasions to give out the stuff I had packed for you, but something in me, a precognitive sense knew I had to wait for you.

So as I pulled my car out of the drive way today, I noticed a group of homeless people digging into the trash bins. And from a far distance, someone began to run towards me. First, I didn’t make the connection, but when you started calling out: Sister, Sister…I came to look for you the other day!!!
Suddenly I realized that the strong sense I had earlier in the morning was a spiritual reminder, a forecast that I would see you again. So when I told you to wait as I switched off the car and went back into the house, I knew you would love the surprise I had for you. I couldn’t wait to see that burst of joy again.

So dear doughnut reader, I came out, little did Jenna know what she was about to get! I had packed a suitcase full of clothes for her. When she saw the suitcase, she beamed and froze simultaneously. She impulsively gave me a hug, I hugged her back. She ran across to the opposite side of the street and pulled her trolley closer, she then mounted the suitcase on it. The cutest thing was that she waved her friends goodbye, job done for the day, sorta…she carried on giggling till she went out of sight.

I am so glad I found you again Jenna.
