This was the way I was raised and throughout
generations, this saying was kept within the family. Being strong and fearless
with a warm and soft heart are characteristics my grandfather taught us.
The Xhosa people called him Peacemaker. In his time, he was a police
officer- the good kind where he helped people regardless of their belief
systems and the colour skin they owned. He was a brave and intelligent man, a
hero not only to his family, but to others as well. He created harmony within
the hearts of thousands.
Within the years I have known him, he never
cried. He held his head up high and left behind big shoes to fill. I still want
to make him proud, thus I try to stay strong and stand behind his motto: Cowboys
DO NOT cry, they create peace instead.
