My last client today is a new one. I greet him and ask him what he would Iike me to do...
Instead of giving me spefications and indication on his haircut he turns to face me and look me in the eyes and say before you cut my hair I want to tell you your mum saved my life. If it wasn't for her, I would not be sitting here....
I was dumbfounded... Speachless...
I have read many stories of what my parents have done and I still receive mails from guys singing praise to my mum for things she have done more than 40 years ago, but this is the 1st time I am looking into the eyes of the person saying these things... I never expected this, not at all.
I never got around to hear the specifics of the event.. But I know they were in trouble and was calling for help on the radio and like in so many cases, my Mum was the only one to hear them. She got them help and saved their lives by doing so.
Seeing a man sitting in front of you and hearing all of this make you realize that they did the right thing. They made the right choices. Its all good. (For many years I kept asking myself a lot of questions.. One of them was, why they become so deeply involved as they did.. And then.. What if they didn't? Would my life have been different?)
After today I have peace. Thank you MC Eloff.
❤️ She was an extraordinary, ordinary woman. To many she was call sign 91, to others she was Tannie Pompie. For me she is Mum, she is my Hero.
