Grapkas.<\/p>\n

Terggees.<\/p>\n

Lief vir diere.<\/p>\n

Het drake aangehou en was vreeslik erg oor sy hondjie.<\/p>\n

Mens kon nie anders om van Dean te hou nie.<\/p>\n

Om die waarheid te s\u00ea, Dean was een van my gunstelinge.<\/p>\n

So stap mens ‘n pad saam met kinders.<\/p>\n

Sien hulle bang met ‘n gemerkte tassie by die laerskool aankom.<\/p>\n

Kaalvoet rammetjie rugby.<\/p>\n

Stoutwees, kinderpartytjies.<\/p>\n

Naweke saam weg.<\/p>\n

En dan is hulle groot.<\/p>\n

So vinnig, te vinnig.<\/p>\n

Dan kry jy die nuus soos verlede week met Dean.<\/p>\n

Dean is…jy wil nie daardie woord s\u00ea nie.<\/p>\n

Want dis nie moontlik nie, nie Dean nie, nie die seun met die stoute glimlag nie.<\/p>\n

Nie “Ou Dean” vir wie jy een naweek moes uithelp met sy opstel nie.<\/p>\n

Die opstel oor “‘n Storm”.<\/p>\n

Dean se laaste woorde op sy facebook, oomblikke voor die ongeluk, so asof hy ‘n gevoel gehad het iets gaan gebeur.<\/a><\/p>\n

En die laatlam se beswaar: “Pa mag nie vir Dean help nie, hy moet self sy opstel skryf”.<\/p>\n

Maar Dean het nie opgegee nie en ons skryf…”van die wind wat geruisloos aangekom het, die tinteling teen die vensters…”<\/p>\n

Gedink daai Afrikaanse onnie het self bang geword.<\/p>\n

En toe kry Dean volpunte…en die laatlam se storm is ‘n stofwolkie.<\/p>\n

Ag, en nou is Dean weg.<\/p>\n

Maar mens kan nie help om in jou hart te glimlag nie.<\/p>\n
