One day when I figure-out a way to *explain* things,
I GOT TO tell you’s about the family relations thing-y down here
Family structure is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay *different* from what I and probably most-foreigners consider *normal*

It is NOT unusual to find a situation where a family will take in a child that is NO-kin to ‘em … no blood relation, no nuttin’

For some reason99 ??? )))m a *peer-rant* or a guardian will not be able to or want to care for a child, and some somebody will take them in, as their own … and raise ‘em.

This Jamaican practice is mind-blow-ing,
And hey do it soooooooooooooo matter –fact-ly
Over and over again.
.
.

.
While watching my landlord and a guy working on the new bathing area,
I thought, to myself::::>>> ‘’’…at the rate they’re going, they could build a one bedroom HOUSE in ‘bout 2-days..’’

Stay tuned
‘cause I KNOW you-all gonna be surprised to find out how much things cost-ed for this bath area construction project.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It JUST MIGHT be time
For ME to build a likkle something something
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

.
Afterall,
Landlord & his mom
Repeatedly have told me:::>> ‘’’..when you ready, Bill ….. Do it..!!.. …. Right here….. over-so ….. on THAT spot…’’’

Landlord even told me where I could have my grave site
If I was so inclined.
And which direction my feet should be pointed, while I lay in my casket
Ummmmmmmmmmmm
I think it was East.

Over the years we fed, clothed and educated about a dozen pickney. Everybody in the district knew that Miss G, Mas Captain and Miss Izel would be a refuge for a homeless pickney. Some drifted away after a bit but several are still "my boys" and Miss G's "girls" all in their 40's now
