Pearl Thusi jetted into the country for a few short days of quality time with her loved ones.
But the time flew past and Pearl had to leave the country to go back to New York.
Of course it was a sad moment for her bae Robert Marawa, and her daughter who were at the airport to see her off.
Even though it was a bittersweet moment for Pearl, she said working towards a brighter future for her daughter was the only thing that kept her going.
"Looking forward to seeing you again is the only thing that outweighs the sadness of having to leave you in hopes of making our future even brighter."
Pearl also gushed over the support she gets from Robert. "You're a man a woman thought she could only ever dream of. I love you so much. You're my calm in every storm," said.
