I'm not very good with dates but this much I know, the day when I realized that Tebatso makes me happy I never looked back. I met her through my cousin Kgothatso, whom she went to school with and befriended. I remember this one day my cousin, Bokang saying to me “Heh monna, why o sa tseye ngwana o?” I was very reluctant and not interested in her to say the least. We met at my other cousin's funeral and we ended up walking together, again someone, I think it might have been Rappah made a suggestion to the effect that she must hold on to be as I would look after her. I did not take this comment to heart the same way I didn't my cousin's. We met again at a Royal Bafokeng stadium during a Chiefs game, she somehow appeared in my midst. We walked around the stadium holding hands during half time and I offered to buy her stadium food to which she declined. I thought to myself "o ene Ke cheese girl and definitely not my type" those were my words to my cousin (Bokang) by the way the first time he tried to hook me up with her. We were holding hands so that we do not lose each other in the crowd but now I think about it that same feeling of not wanting to loose her is the same feeling that kept me loving her for all these years. As mentioned earlier I'm not not good with dates but this was early between 1999 and 2000. At this point in my life I had just finished the theory part of my diploma and I was starting to do my practicals. I went back to PE. Turns out every time I came home she would know and strategically position herself so that I could see her 😂😂😂. So this one day I had a really bad day at work, I had lots of breakdowns and I got this "please call " from some number I didn't know. It must have been around December or January 2001. So I walked to the public phone to find out who was "please calling" me. At this point I'm annoyed by what I was going through, so I call and ask who it was and she went "take a wild guess" as if I would have remembered her from talking to her over the phone before. So loosing my patience now and I went " Eish I'm not sure who you are, but please tell me who I’m speaking to" she didn't give me a run around fortunately and told me it was Tebatso. Not sure how I felt but one thing for sure I knew I wanted to talk to her again after that call. So the chats carried on and on and on. We spoke everyday and she started growing on me and as they say the rest is history. 

She taught me how to love and she is the meaning of love to me. I have seen and felt this every second,minute, hour, day and year I have been with her.
