“Eight amazing, wonderful, and precious years with you — and one year without you. I miss you so much, and I can’t find the words to explain. I replay that day in my head over and over, wishing and hoping the outcome would be different.”
Shebeshxt has also spoken about the lasting impact of their daughter’s death, revealing that the family continues to navigate life while carrying an enduring sense of absence.For Moloto, sharing her feelings publicly is a way to honor Onthatile’s memory while reminding others that grief does not follow a timetable
