My life has been a little hectic - I know you are thinking how much more hectic can it get with the size of my family? But the family is not all I have rocking right now with the rethinking of my life stuff. But I have to think of my followers - I hit that magic five number!
My parents got back from my grandmother's funeral in Barbados and they confirmed what I thought all along; the trip to Barbados would have been life changing for me. I needed to see where I came from and meet my family. My brother Brian went with Dad to Barbados last year, but I haven't been since I was 13 - over 22 years ago. That's just crazy!
Daddy said he met people he has not seen in forty years. I want to see people and be seen so they know that my parents did a decent job with me. I think through my story the family would know that they made a good life for themselves in the States. I want to go see my parent's birthplace with them and record their stories. It is important that I have the ability to share a family tale with my kids one day. So I missed out in several ways. I will have to work on rectifying that soon.
I hope you can get there soon- it sounds like it would be amazing!
