Iindleko ezingokweemvakalelo nezemali zokuphulukana nomzali.

Elinye icala lentlungu luthotho malunga namandla atshintsha ubomi alahleko. La mabali abantu abanamandla baphonononga izizathu ezininzi kunye neendlela esizifumana ngayo usizi kwaye sihamba ngendlela entsha.

Kubiza malini ukufa? Malunga ne- $ 15,000.

Ubuncinci xa kwasweleka umakhulu wam- umfazi owandikhulisayo- kubiza imali eninzi kakhulu emngcwabeni.

Xa ndavula ikhadi lamatyala kunye nomda weedola ezingama-20 000 kwiminyaka eyalandelayo, kwakumnandi ukwazi ukuba ndingahlawula umngcwabo ngokulahla umnqwazi. Ndandilawula kwimeko nje. Kuba bendifundile kuMakhulu ukuba "kwimeko nje" inokwenzeka phakathi kokuthetha okuhle ngeCawe nokumisa emva komsebenzi ngoMvulo.

Eyona nto inzima yokufa kukuphulukana nomntu omthandayo. Kodwa emva koko ubethwe liliza leendleko, hayi nje umngcwabo okanye ulwamkelo.

Iminyaka emine ukusweleka kukaMakhulu, ndihlawule uninzi lwamatyala am. Kodwa abanye basaqokelela umdla.

Ndabelana ngeendleko zam - ezemvakalelo nezemali- ngethemba onokulilungiselela, kuba uninzi lwethu luzolahlekelwa ngumntu esimthandayo nokuba kukanye.

Imirhumo ye-Biology 101

Ukuba ngowokugqibela ukumbona kodwa ndingazi ukuthi ndlela-ntle eyiyo kuyothusa. Ukuba ngumntu wokuqala ukumfumana efile kwakukubi.

Andisoze ndiyilibale intsimbi ebuntsimbi yegurney- yegurney yakhe- xa esweleka. Bade baquka umqamelo wentloko yakhe. Kwintsapho, ngokucacileyo.

Xa abagcini-zincwadi beza kuhambo lokugqibela lukaMakhulu, sasisebenzisa iibhedi ukumthwalela ezantsi. Ngaphandle kwento etyheli ebumhlana yobuso bakhe, iintloko ezingathandekiyo zentloko, ezahlukileyo imvakalelo Umzimba ofileyo emoyeni, senze konke okusemandleni ethu ukuba sithambe, ngokungathi ulele nje.

Ndizamile ukutyhala olo suku ndisengqondweni yam kwiminyaka ezayo njengoko ndanditshaya ngetyathanga ndisela ukuze ndicinezele eyam ibhayoloji.

Ixabiso lentengo kwindawo yokuthengisa ibhokisi

Ucinga ukuba ukuthenga ibhokisi kulula kube lula. Akunjalo ukuba kubaluleke kakhulu, akunjalo? Iya kuba ziinyawo ezintandathu ngaphantsi nokuba ungayiceba ngayiphi indlela kwaye ujonge kuphela iyure okanye ezimbini, iintloko.

Kodwa bekufana nokuthenga imoto - kwaye andiqhubi nokuqhuba. Umthengisi wayelilungele ibala lakhe, isigqubuthelo sakhe esincinci sovelwano sigubungela isidingo esinzulu sokukhulisa njengoko oomalume bam kunye nam sihlola iibhokisi kwigumbi elincinci elimpunga.

Ezinye iibhokisi zaziyinto enkulu kunye ne-mahogany enzulu, iziqwenga ezintle endingenakuzinceda kodwa ndicinga ukuba ziya kwenza ukongeza okuhle kwikhaya lechibi. Abanye banciphisile ubukhazikhazi kodwa basenayo nepunch kubo.

Kwaye kwangoko akukho-frills pine box. Akukho maqhinga, akukho maqhinga. Ibhokisi nje yepayini. Imigca elula kunye nokukhanya, iinkuni ezinemibala efudumeleyo.

Kwaye yinxalenye yesiko lethu lamaJuda. Umthetho wamaJuda uyalela ukuba abafileyo mababuyele emhlabeni, kwaye iibhokisi zomthi ezifana nompayina zibola emhlabeni. Ukuphumelela.

Xa ucinezelwe ukuba uthathe isigqibo sokukhetha ibhedi yokugqibela yomntu omthandayo, hamba nento oyaziyo. Gcina kulula - kwaye kufikeleleka.

Ixabiso lememori kunye neendleko zokuzila

Umngcwabo wawungeCawa yePasika, eyayingenguye omnye ngaphandle kuka-4/20. Bendisazi ukuba umakhulu kumele ukuba uyithandile loo nto.

Ndamfumanela intsangu ngolunye lwemihla yokuzalwa kwakhe ukuze ndimncede alawule isifo samathambo esiqatha, asifakele ebhotileni yeevithamini zabafazi. Elinye lamaxesha nje ambalwa esatshaya ngawo, saba phezulu kakhulu kwaye ndabhala kudonga lukaFacebook, “Molo!” Sakhala sihleka kangangemizuzu engama-30.

Into endiza kuyinika ukumtyelela kwakhona, ukugoduka. Xa ndivala amehlo, ndiyabona. Ndiyazi yonke indawo nokujika kwezitepsi. Ndikhumbula ivumba lesiqholo sakhe, neeshampu zakhe ezintle. Sasilele sibukele "Iifayile ze-Forensic" kunye ne "Snapped" ebhedini yakhe enkulu yase-California eyayinomatrasi okhululekileyo.

Into endiza kuyinika ukuziva ndisekhaya kwakhona, kwenye indawo, naphina, ukukhupha ixhala elothusayo lokumangaliswa sisidumbu sakhe. Ndifuna ukukhupha la maphupha amabi kwityala lam elipheleleyo.

Into mna, umntwana ongenabazali, ndingayinika - ukuhlawula - ukuba yeyethu
ekhaya.

Ndiyazi ukuba ndandingumzukulwana olungileyo kwaye wawusoloko uzingca ngam. Ndiyazi ukuba yayilixesha lokuhamba. Kodwa ndikukhumbula kakhulu.

Ndinqwenela ukuba ungandibona ngoku ndinomsebenzi wamantombazana amakhulu edolophini. Ukuze ubone indlu yam entle, isangqa senkxaso endisivunileyo, ukwazi ukuba ndiyekile ukutshaya. Sasihleba kwaye sihleke ubusuku bonke.

Ukuhlawula ixabiso lokushiya iithebhu zebha zivuliwe ngoLwesibini

Kwisikhumbuzo sokuqala sokubhubha kukaMakhulu uFreda, ndaya kweyona ndawo intle yokuntywila kwidolophu yasekhaya. Iziselo zitshiphu, ukutshaya kuvumelekile, kwaye akukho mntu ugwebayo ukuba unxilile phambi kwentsimbi yesi-5.

Akukho nto ifana nokutyatyekwa kwityala lokufa.

Akukho nto ibalulekileyo- hayi ithebhu evulekileyo, ivumba elibi laseMarlboros kwiingubo zakho, okanye esidlangalaleni, umzimba ogcweleyo kunye neeranti ezingahambelaniyo. Akunjalo nokuba kungoLwesibini kuphela kwaye uya kuhlawula lo mzuzu nge-hangover ekhethekileyo.

Ndonwabile ngokuzingca ngomhla wokusweleka kwakhe. Bendilindelwe lusuku lunye lokuba buhlungu ngokunzulu, ukuba sesichengeni.

Iphepha lokulinganisa lokuthengisa kwezindlu: Yenza imali, ulahlekelwe yimifanekiso

Ukubukela abantu ongabaziyo bemba izinto zikaMakhulu, ezixabisekileyo kwaye kungenjalo, kwakukhathaza amathumbu. Abantu bakhetha njani ukuba bathenge ntoni ngqo kwaye bathengise?

Ungacinga ukuba i-china yakhe entle inokuxhonywa ngoluhlobo. Oko umntu othile Ngaba ufuna iimpahla zakhe-ukusuka eNordstrom, akukho ngaphantsi!

Endaweni yoko, abantu baxinekile kwaye batyhalela i-knickknacks kunye nobucwebe, bakhawuleza ukuhlutha imihlobiso yegadi, kwaye bashiye iinyawo ezimdaka kwikhaphethi emhlophe. Kodwa nam bendisasazekile.

Into endiyigcinileyo iyaqhubeka
ndixakiwe. Andikwazi ukulahla imilebe yomlomo eyomileyo eseleyo kwiipaji, a
Ukunqunyulwa kwamaphephandaba Ndiyazi ukuba umakhulu wayehleba malunga, iihempe ezinamabala.

Ndisaziva ndiphantse ndaphantse ndathengisa istop seplothi esitulweni esihlala kusapho kwizizukulwana ngezinga elingange- $ 3. Andisoze ndiyilahle. Esihogweni, bendiza kuhlawula amakhulu eedola ukuyigcina.

Okwangoku, phakathi ngosuku lwesibini lokuthengisa kweentsuku ezintathu, phantse sabongoza abantu ukuba bathathe izinto. Sichithwe ngokweemvakalelo.

Ukukhumbula umhla wokufa kukaMakhulu kunye neicookie zikaFreda

Kwityeli lakhe lesibini lokufa, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndifuna iswekile. Ke, ndiye kwi-deli lika-Grandma ayithandayo ndathenga ii-cookies ezimnandi.

Ndasebenza kwindawo yokugcina abantwana ngelo xesha. Ngokwendalo, umntwana omncinci wabona amaqebengwana, ebuza ukuba ayenzelwe ntoni - ngaba yayilusuku lokuzalwa lomntu? Khange ndibesemdleni wokuchaza indlela ebendibuhlungu ngayo ukuba umakhulu wam ubhubhile, ndiye ndaphendula ndathi, "Bazikhethe ngokukhethekileyo uMakhulu uFreda cookies!"

Nokuba aba bantu baneminyaka emi-3 bayakubona ukuba buhlungu kwam okanye ukuba bonwabile kukothuka iswekile, bonke abantwana baqala ukukhala besithi, “Freda cookies! Iikuki zeFreda! Siyamthanda uMakhulu uFreda! ”

Ndalila kakhulu.

Ixabiso lezifundo zobomi bomntu oswelekileyo

Ukubhala i-obituary ngumsebenzi onzima ngakumbi kunokuba ucinga. Ubomi bonke bunokushwankathelwa njani ngendlela enentsingiselo, nebumbeneyo? Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, yayiphantse yalithoba imali ukubeka obit… ngomgca ngamnye.

Ndikhankanyile izinto ezinkulu: inja yakhe, ukuthanda incoko yasebusuku, kunye nesiko lokubamba imibulelo. Kwafuneka ndigqibe ngemantra aqala ukuyicengceleza kwiminyaka yakhe yokugqibela yobomi njengoko wayesilwa neentlungu ezingapheliyo: "Ubomi abungobantu abathandanayo."

Ndiyazisola ngokungafaki loo nto ibhalwe kwilitye lakhe lentloko. Kunoko ifundeka ngolu hlobo, “Ntombi, mama, nogogo.”

Ungandivi kakubi. Ilitye lentloko elihle, i-regal kunye ne-glittery. Kodwa kutheni ukhumbula inqanaba? Uyakuhlala engumakhulu wam.

Ndifuna ukubhiyozela kwaye ndililele imingxunya eseleyo: uburharha bakhe,
Ukuba noburhalarhume, into awayeyimele.

Ukuhlawulela inkululeko epheleleyo

Ndilile ngaphandle kwevenkile yeAT & T ngaphambi kokuba ndingene ndirhoxisa iakhawunti kaMakhulu. Nge-24, bendiya kuba ndihlawula ityala lam leselfowuni okokuqala ebomini bam.

Ndingakwazi ukwenza uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali. Kodwa kwavela ezinye iindleko zokuphulukana naye.

Kwafuneka ndibaleke utata wam eneminyaka eyi-14. Umama wam akekho emfanekisweni. Umakhulu wasweleka xa ndandineminyaka engama-24 ubudala. Ndandinekhaya elikhuselekileyo kuphela iminyaka eli-10.

Ngoku, andinaxanduva lwalo lonke ityala lam lonke ixesha. Ndinoxanduva kwisigqibo ngasinye ngaphandle kwesikhokelo. Kuxhomekeke kum ukuthatha isigqibo sokuba ndiza kwenza ntoni ngeholide nganye. Iindaba ezimnandi zibhalelwa abantu abangaphantsi.

Kukho inkululeko enxilisayo kule nto, ngokuqinisekileyo. Awusayi kuphinda ukhathazeke ngokuza kuthethwa ngumgcini.Ndingenza nantoni na endiyifunayo, ngalo lonke ixesha! Akukho tyala!

Kodwa oh, hayi indlela endifuna ngayo ukurhabaxa njengabanye abantu malunga "nokuba" ndigoduke ndindwendwele okanye ndinciphise amaqela kuba lusuku lukaMama.

Ukugcina ngezahlulo zewayini zeCostco zepikniks zokufa

Ndizama ukutyelela uMakhulu veki nganye emva kokuba ndiphumile, nokuba yi-hangout yeveki yonke okanye indawo yokuma emhadini xa ndigoduka. Kwakuninzi kuye njengam.

Ke, ngokwemvelo, ndizamile ukuqhubeka nokutyelela emva kokuba eswelekile.

Kwiveki nje emva komngcwabo wakhe, ndathatha uloliwe ndaya kumangcwaba akhe, iburrito ebhegini yam. Ndandizimisele ukuba nepikniki kwaye ndonwabele ukuba kunye naye.

Kuthathe iminyaka embalwa ukufumana umdla wepikiniki engcwabeni lakhe kwakhona. Kwixesha elizayo xa ndenza, ndize nabahlobo, iisandwich, newayini. Umakhulu wayithanda iwayini yakhe kunye nomhla olungileyo wesidlo sasemini.

Sibe nexesha elimnandi, sigqibe ibhotile emhlophe sishiya iPinot Noir kuMakhulu. Ukusukela ngoko, sele kulisiko ukushiya ibhotile engavulwanga ecaleni kweentyatyambo inyanga nenyanga okanye njalo.

Ndizama ukwenza ukwabelana ngamabali am malunga noMakhulu uFreda kunye nentlungu yam isiko, isithethe. Kukho intuthuzelo ngokwabelana ngamatyala ethu okufa kunye ukuze sonke sibhiyozele ubomi bomntu esimthandayo size siphile.

Ukujongana neendleko zokufa kungangangcono, kodwa kuya kusiba lula.

Ngaba ufuna ukufunda ngakumbi amabali kubantu abahamba ngendlela entsha njengoko behlangabezana nokungalindelekanga, ukutshintsha ubomi, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha amaxesha osizi? Jonga uthotho olupheleleyo apha.
