Advice

Thirty-four years in, here is all I know: never go to bed angry, always say thank you for the coffee, and let her have the window seat.

My son, my heart. Maria, my daughter. May your home always be full of laughter, good food and visitors who stay too long. I love you both.

It has been a joy planning this day with you both. The oaks are ready for you!
Annelie du Toit

A memory

First year, residence room 214: Daniel drew a bridge on our wall and told me he'd build a real one one day. Now he's building a life. Proud of you, brother.
Jason Chen

A wish

May you always find your way back to each other, like the tide back to Paternoster.

A message

Daniel, you finally found someone who'll get up at 5 a.m. with you. (She won't. But she loves you anyway.)
Kabelo Mahlangu

A memory

I still have the voice note from the night you came home from that café, Maria. "I think I just met someone." You were right!
