<p>This morning I received a photo via WhatsApp &#8230; and it immediately set off a spark of memories. This photo was taken almost 18 years ago on New Year’s Eve. This was a happy moment and my late “brother in law” had one of his very rare smiles.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="303" height="166" src="https://www.surene.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/love.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-2370" srcset="https://www.surene.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/love.jpeg 303w, https://www.surene.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/love-300x164.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 303px) 100vw, 303px" /></figure></div>



<p>It also sparked a lot of other thoughts &#8230; when someone dies, people tend to talk about how good they were. They conveniently forget the less good times. When I listen to people talking at funerals or celebration of life events, the question would cross my mind: what would people say at my celebration of life one day?  </p>



<p>I don’t worry about that anymore, because I seriously do not care. What I do want to know is &#8230; would YOU break down a door for me?</p>



<p>I didn’t know that I would do that for anyone &#8230; until I did. I didn’t know that I would do that for Chris &#8230; until I did. He was my brother from another mother! He made me furious sometimes &#8230; just like a real brother would. Although, he was older than me, he would always come to me for help &#8230; just like a little brother would.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-full"><img decoding="async" width="225" height="225" src="https://www.surene.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/care-enough.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2371" srcset="https://www.surene.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/care-enough.png 225w, https://www.surene.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/care-enough-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></figure></div>



<p>He was a loner, but when he didn’t react on a message I sent him like he normally would, I decided to go to his house, although I was told to leave him, because he probably wanted to be alone. I can only thank the dear Lord that I went there. That I cared enough to get someone to break down his door. He was still alive and we could get him to hospital, although a mere 17 days later he lost the fight.</p>



<p>Will I break down a door again? YES! I would, if I care about you enough to either tell you that I love you or even think that I love you, I WILL break down your door to get to you. Why? Because that’s me!</p>



<p>I hope that someday when people tag me as a grumpy old hag, that someone will still care enough to break down my door to save me.</p>



<p>Now my challenge to you is to sit down and think honestly about this: WHO do YOU care about enough to break down their door?</p>
