The premiere of Still Breathing has left most of us a box of tissues short, reminiscing about our own lives and gasping for more. There were so many heart-wrenching moments that we're still thinking about. Here are some of those moments that made us cry, smile, scream out loud, and cry some more.

For The Love Of Family
It was all goosebumps when everyone stood up to sing and cheer on little Heath at his concert. (We bet you were singing along too in your living room.) When the music fades, you know you can always count on your family and friends who became family, to keep the song going. Can we give Danny the best dad reward already? (Wipes eyes).

We admire the love T-Boss has for his family and that he wants to give his mum a better home, (please pass the tissues again). He is caught between providing a modern-day life for his girls while making sure they remember their roots. Home is definitely where the heart is no matter where you go, but T-Boss needs to find his balance while following his heart.

Facing Life's Struggles
Abi's carefree spirit has won us over, but her struggle to conceive has tugged strings in our hearts. She yearns to have a child of her own and we can't imagine her pain, especially watching her sister Jessica mother three beautiful boys. Abi is giving everything she has, but she must dig deeper because there is more to come.

Another heart-tugging moment was the revelation of Jessica and Abi's mum's illness. Jessica is in denial and doesn't want to discuss her mum's condition with her sister, but instead wants Danny to learn more about the illness. How will the loving sisters come to terms with their mum's diagnosis?

Meanwhile, Danny is struggling to get his new restaurant into top shape and turns to his brother-in-law and buddy Trent for help. It's clear he will do anything to please his wife and provide for his family. He is a man with a plan, but some plans come at a high price.

Death and Betrayal
The big betrayal that hit us hard in the face - Candice and Trent's passionate affair! The affair comes crashing down as Trent tragically dies in a car accident. (We know the whole of South Africa cried over this.) How will Abi deal with her loss? How will Candice deal with hers? Will Abi find out about her best friend's and husband's betrayal and how will she react? What else was Trent hiding from Abi? Will Candice face her demons and come clean to her bestie? So many questions, so much heartache!

What a whirlwind of emotions and it's only episode 1! The story of family, love, and heartbreak continues next Thursday at 20:00 on #MNet101. Follow the conversation with #StillBreathingSA on Twitter (@MNet),Instagram (@mnettv), and Facebook (@MNet).
