Farewell to an Icon

It was with great sadness that we heard about the passing of Nelson Mandela. The country is in a period of mourning. I thought that the best way to pay tribute to him was to go and see the movie - Long walk to Freedom on the day of his memorial. After the funeral on Sunday I guess things will go back to normal for most folks. My thoughts however go to his family - it is always hard to lose your father or mother and someone who was absent from your lives for so long, it must seem like he was with them for too short a time.
RIP TATA we shall miss you!
