Should Amor take Joost back?

accreditation
"I really would've wanted her support now, because she is the person whom I've loved the most. She broke my heart.”

This is what Joost van der Westhuizen admitted on and interview on KykNET’s Kwela.

The ex rugby player, who was diagnosed with terminal motor neuron disease last year, is also making videos for his children to remember him by. The average life expectancy of this disease is between 1 and 5 years.

"For now, I'm only still playing in the first half of my hardest game ever. The game will become much harder later, I know. But I'll take it on.”

"I would like to see my children more often. If Amor for example has to go away for weekends when the children are with her, she leaves them with her parents. I would like to have them with me. I do not want to fight, but it's a thing that our legal people (with a view to divorce) are still sorting out."

This whole business is so extremely tragic, but is it fair to expect Amor to forgive and assist now that he needs her? I’m glad I wouldn’t have to make that call.
