- Maven Huggins makes me field the invisibile hand is present. If only...
Joanne Collins her official birthday is 20th June and she died 20th June 1993. But I celebrate 28th June as her birthday as that's what he did all her life. It was only when she died that we found out her birthday wa 20th June. She was 80 when she died. I miss her
- Maven Huggins
read you: "her official birthday" as if we talking of a Queen whose birthdate is one day but the national celebration is another. LOL> hahaha...too apropos
i thought it was around that. I did not know it was switched. look at me learning so...mething new about my grandmother just so, easy easy. unexpected...and seeming to light a candle for her, me unsuspecting. that is powerful. needed on a battering day. girl. lord.
if it be so ;) L:ove Jo/See More
Joanne Collins peace and love in TRUE HONOR OF MY ONLY QUEEN. Grieft really is eternal. Thanks for the image. She woke at 3am to pray and 6am she was tending to plants so this kinda image always makes me thinks of her. Thanks to the ancestors who guided you to this image knowing it was needed. Timely, Godspeed to ya xx
- Maven Huggins I remember that of Grannie...waking in the middle of the night to pray by candlelight...there is much road i need to travel to return to where i need to be...
- Maven Huggins our parents really show and teach us how and who we are to be, eh?
and i paused there for a long while thnking...i have always been touoched and puzzled by people who die on the day of their birth. so i am mulling over 6/20/13...6/20/93...and it hits me . know when my birthday? 2/6. interesting huh?
Joanne, did Grannie ever talk of Gramma to you or of Pa Neezer?
-
Joanne Collins she was meant to be a really loving woman who the villagers (Tortuga) looked up to and would come to for supportive prayers and healing. When granny was really hurt she would cry for her
Joanne Collins Pa Neezer I am not sure, Elsie and her husand would've known bout him but sadly they are both deceased now. Elsie came up regular to pray with granny

- Maven Huggins we come from a line of powerful powerful powerful women. no wonder we shake so many by our wakes
Joanne Collins Its so important to hand down the stories. I don't think the ancestors could ever imagine what a capitalist society we would become. I agree, I know more about the women than the men. Yet men were not hated. Granny favoured her sons, despite protest!
Maven Huggins i know. to the resentment of another set of women ;)
its deep actually, given the end; and deep for it is part of the caribbean cultural feminine construct that i for one will break, should i ever have my own children...but it is deep. powerful women loving their sons, and um...doing what with the women?
wow. just glad i was a grand and not first line
Joanne Collins Uncle Carl spoke about being in hospital in his youth and grandma huggins walking from the village with supplies to visit him A walk that took a good few hours. Grandparents rule!
- Maven Huggins it is she who raised them. it was Gramma Analiza who was their mother.
that is another fact and tradition I am seeing...many of us have more than one mother; or that our birth source may not be our parent, mother or guide
