As of today, I have vowed not to return to Jamaica with my family. I am tired of turning a deaf ear to the belittling comments about my husband and his 'abilities' or lack there for. The openness of weed in presence of adults and the lack of boundaries with men. Really, not the Jamaica I was raised in, so a different take and perspective.
Yet, I want Jamaica to be a place where it's safe for them to return long after I am gone. For them I maintain certain contacts and go back looking for hope that they will be fine there. Yes, I have taken them places which are more dangerous but not many places where I know good people might stand by and do nothing if they are hurt. My true concern is not if they get hurt, that could happen anywhere at anytime. It's what happen or won't happen if they do. In my neck on the woods right not, not much. Most of my close friends and family have died or migrated, so now seen as an outsider to many. Right now it's, can I go to Jamaica with you, nope, waiting for change to come. The change where good people won't be afraid to stand up on behalf of the weak or less fortunate, and ded to the informa will be no more.
