    This topic resonate with me so much because I was once 'the aunt' who put a candle next to my two months old nephew. I was only twelve years old when the incident happened and it haunted me for a long time when I was growing up.
    I was consumed with guilt which led me to dislike looking after children because I had a fear that something will go wrong while they are in my care. My nephew got burnt by a candle that I left next to him at the bottom of his legs which he 'the baby' kicked and it fell on him thus burning his right leg. Luckily I heard his screams from the opposite roundavel in the village off the South Coast of KZN, and I ran only find him in flames. Oh boy I cried while putting off the flames on his nightie.
    To cut the long story short I'm glad the demage was not much and I was able to tell my nephew about the incident when he was a bit older and he has always said 'but you were young too and therefore didn't know how to look after a baby' Fast forward my nephew and I are very close and I'm like a mother to him, he feels so close to me than his own mother who happens to be my older sister.
    To Zenzile I do feel your pain and I completely understand what you went through growing up but I can assure you that your aunt died with a broken heart filled with guilt and pain for being that person who put that candle next to you. I hope you find healing and forgive her even though she is no more, however I know how she felt because I went through the same thing. If I had a chance to talk to you and share my own feelings and my story with my nephew just to make you understand your aunt's perspective and hopefully bring healing to you. By the way you're a handsome man with a beautiful smile even through the scars and pain, your spirit is pure.
    I'm happy that you've found love through your wife and children and I wish you all the best in life from the bottom of my heart. To Rebogile you are simple the best, thank you for bringing these conversations to the table. With love all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪 🇿🇦♥️

    When I was 12 I had an afro and we were living in a shack. The candle was on and I leaned forward for something, my hair caught fire. My sister saw me burning and started punching my head to help😢 What a traumatic day. For years I didn't dare grow my hair because it had patches but more than 10 years later, my hair is growing. I am so grateful that my sister was there and that I didn't lose anything more than a few years of full head of hair. Thank you Jesus.

    I love the ending of his story a lot. Power of God, the love of a mother. His story is similar to my cousin, she was young when she was stuck in a burning house that was petrol bombed by protestors, only the love of a mother that came through. My aunt when she realized that her child was in left in the burning house.
    She threw herself in with the hope of saving her daughter. Everyone was pulling her trying to stop her, but not a the love of a mother. She risked it all and she said those words if my child dies I die with her.'
    No could believe when she came out of those blazing flames with her child wrapped up in her baby blanket. Yes the child sustained burns till today she has scars on her face. But guess the through the Almighty's protection and grace mommy came out with not even a single burned. Firemen could not believe it no one believed the miracle they witnessed on that day.
    Yes nothing can ever stop the love of a mother. Great story Zenzile. You are great story teller too.

    Hi Lebo...I hope am not overstepping my boundaries but my intention is to offer some assistance.Listening to Zenzile broke my heart in so many ways.There is a book called Journey of Souls by Michael Newton.I believe it can help him look at his accident as a baby in a fresh perspective.It changed the way I look at painful events in our lives for myself and provided an emotional relief.Hope it helps!
