Today is National Elections Day! Yes the 20th anniversary of our young Democracy.
As responsible citizens we voted but it is also important to create a culture in our house and example to Boeta that participating in elections is important.
I was thinking about my childhood and what I wanted to do, my dreams and where we are now. I thought about how things changed in my lifetime, so far, and wondered where we will be in 20 years from now, when he would be eligible for his 1st vote.
The world has gotten smaller in so many ways, it may not be that impossible to think that he may live in another part of the world, but before all that, he will have to grow up in South Africa.
As parents, today was not only about the immediate future but also had importance for the future country Boeta will inherit from us. This is our responsibility to him and ourselves.
