Ma’am, I pray for you. You are a diamond. One of the shiniest examples of a jewel in the tough digging fields of life itself.I think there will always be something magical about the wonder of motherhood. I’ve been touring Namaqualand for the past week and yesterday I have seen what parenthood really means.
It’s dusty, physical labour in temperatures of well over 40oC – and that’s only above ground. In the dangerous tunnels excavated by the diggers by hand, it’s much hotter. They even have to learn how to breathe underground, where oxygen is limited, just to stay alive.Then, this tiny woman has to carry heavy bags of gravel on her back for miles – often to find that the gravel which she has battled to get from the bedrock, carries not a single diamond.
