Tears of Grief

 Tears of loss


In the month of June 2021, I suffered the loss of four loved ones due to illness /  Covid-19 and old-age. 

God has not forsake us as I can testify to that. Since I lost my only surviving parent in April 2019, 

I have only strengthened my love and trust in God since my mom's passing. 

1. Ta' Saartjie (Aunt - my mom's sister) 



2. Tony (Cousin) 

3.Pieter (Cousin) 



4. Tannie Cora (Aunt - my mom's sister-in-law) 



I will miss you and love you always.

Rest in peace.

God is our Strength and Protector. He will be with us no matter what. 

To God be the glory.


Amen🙏🙏🙏

The Blue Peter was just a small little venue back then in the early nineties (1990's) and we often pop in for late night drinks. Then there was also a club called Tramps in Greenpoint very close to Arena which we went on quite a few occasions as well. Those were the good old days fu

My Life Story

My Life Story I was born Christo De Flamingh on 29 April 1971 on the early hours of that Thursday morning.  When I was about 4 years old when we lived in a military base as my dad was an artillery instructor in the SADF. This was our first family home after I was born.  One night we had visitors over and my mom sent me to run a bath for myself.  I placed the plug into the bath trap and opened the hot water tap. After a couple of minutes as alot of kids do, I got bored waiting for the bath to fill up with water.  I decided to lie on top of the edge of the bath and after a couple of seconds I lost my balance and fell into the bath half filled with hot water and almost immediately I let out a blood curling scream. My mom appeared in an instant as she ran to the bathroom after my screams for help. She picked me up out of the bath and covered me with a blanket and my dad rushed me to the military hospital in Wynberg military base. I had suffered severe burns over the upper part of my body a
