What a blessing to be graced with 94yrs!
A human dictionary, his speech and use of language was on point, it was 110%. And so numerate, he taught me Maths (which I hated) by using playing cards and he used the positions on a dart board to teach me Multiplication, the doubles, the triples, etc.
A āspeaky spokeyā Bajan who could dominate a room with his articulation, and then switch and tell you ābout yuh rassoleāššš
As a child dad told me āAngela whatever you do, do it well, do it with so much passion and always leave your mark, if youāre gonna sweep the roads, do it beautifully so that whoever passes will know that Angela swept those roadsā. I could go on.
As a teenager we unfortunately lost touch but Iām so so glad and grateful that we got to reconnect again.
I feel a little hollow having lost so many years of guidance from my daddy. So I hold on to the great lessons he taught me for the first 14yrs of my life and celebrate his DNA which runs through my being.
My first āunofficialā Radio Programme Controller who encouraged me to speak with passion, I had no idea that this manās articulation, love for communication, his love of music and sweet looks would form the foundation of who I was to become, and who I am.
Bless you dadāØLove you dad āØYour baby girl āØ
