Thank you for the kind words.Originally Posted by wench
When I heard the saying "what doesn't kill you, just makes you stronger" many years ago, I can relate that directly to my experiences in Jamaica. I have been robbed twice, threatened by gang members in Kingston and witnessed a shooting and a stabbing over these many years of travel to Jamaica. Now, considering the remote and inhospitable places I have visited and lived for a time. this doesn't seem so awful (at least to me) as I have seen even more than that here in So. Florida!
Almost two years ago, I wanted to just lie down and let them shovel the dirt on me at some Assisted Living Facility. I was in the hospital with Congestive Heart Failure, confined to a wheelchair with debilitating Arthritis and at my lowest emotional point. Finding a reason to pick myself up and move forward wasn't easy but I always had Jamaica in my heart. I have fought my way back and now enjoy reasonable health and a fresh attitude about life.
Soon I will be leaving here and going back to my adopted homeland. There will still be lots of challenges but I have a lot more I want to do as well. Jamaica has given me so much that I can't even begin to list all that She has given me. It will be my goal now to give back a little more of my time, sweat and experience to help uplift the next generation of Jamaicans and I have the perfect venue to work in: Accompong Town.
If our paths cross someday in Jamaica, I will be honored to take the time to tell you all about my LOVE!
Peace and Guidance
