Dear Mom Sekedi Marima ♥️
.
Firstly I thank God that he kept you so you can see this moment 🥹 Growing up you’ve always encouraged me to be anything I wanted to be. Funny thing is even now I still don’t know what I want to be. I’m still trying to find myself and figure out who Sipho Marima is and that’s okay ♥️ Another important thing you’ve always encouraged me to do is to do my best in every single thing I do. I remember you looking at me in my early teens and saying to me in Xitsonga “loko u endla xilo, xi endli hikuti yimisela” (when you do something, do it with determination) and Mom, I didn’t really understand what you meant…But then in my 30’s I started to understand what you meant and mom, I started doing everything with determination. Whether it’s loving my kids, loving those around me, running, content creation, my relationship with God, mom I do everything with 100% effort and determination. Mom I don’t have a mentality of giving up, I don’t have a privileged mentality, Mom you taught me to work hard and I wake up everyday and I work hard because you said it will pay off….Mom today it did pay off, your son is standing tall in an expo of one of the biggest ultra marathons in the world and it’s all through what you taught me, hard work…So thank you Mom ♥️ I love you

Yours truly
Your last born
