Tomorrow, I will wear my “Old Black Lady” hat in honour of my beloved grandmother, Jessie Bryce. It has been an Easter tradition for a very long time. And, I will remember that she was the most influential person in my life. I will thank God for giving her to me. I will thank God for my two excellent parents … for a very blessed life with great family on both sides … for four great “kids” … 31 yrs being able to touch the lives of students … my Trinidad poets … the list is endless … and I will ask that He heal my back via the docs but if that is too much to ask after 70 yrs of so much good that He gives me strength to be grateful for a little pain in the midst of such ease. Happy Easter to all!
