Besides Ma and Da, Blake's first word was Dawid.
Dawid lives with his wife Sanna in the quarters at the Campbells.
Dawid and Sanna have very little materially, but while Sanna smiles and shakes her head Dawid is always laughing his off!
Everything to Dawid, and I mean everything ranges from amusing to downright hysterical.
I once asked him how many children he had, and he nearly collapsed to the ground:
"Twelve, Missus."
Dawid knows everybody in our neighbourhood and will chat and laugh all day and most of the night with them.
As Dawid spent many years serving and protecting in the SAP, Nick has employed him at his company as a security guard.
Should a tsostsi whip out a knife or a gun, he is bound to drop his weapon, once Dawid has laughed him out of any adverse intentions
After Misty fetches Blake from nursery school and he is strapped into the car seat, he stares at the empty space next to him and points.
The next item on Misty's journey is to collect Dawid from the yard. Blake remains very quiet throughout.
Once Dawid steps into the back seat he and Blake start shrieking with laughter!
Dawid speaks Afrikaans, Blake speaks gobbledygook, but it is the power of laughter that unites them over an age difference of 70 years.
If Dawid has an errand, Blake will wait patiently on the front step for his return.
Bless them.
