Love Is Colour Blind Don't leave me alone Chris, those were her final words before she left me off this world. She had been lying in the Intensive Care Unit for 6 months after she slipped and fell awkwardly on the kitchen floor while cooking dinner. We had been married for 61 years. I was a black immigrant from the Dominican Republic who had come to London to look for work and find the good life too. She was a  white British nurse who worked in a local clinic close to the shipping harbour where our ship landed. This was in 1956. The first time I saw her, I knew right there and then she was the right woman for me. Margaret was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Funny, affable and affectionate, she was always ready to help anyone in need.. I had a deep cut on my left arm from forcing my way to board the ship when it was about to set sail from my home country of the Dominican Republic to England. So I had to check myself to the local clinic where Margaret worked to have my...

*Small Beginnings To Greatness* Never despise small beginnings. Be it a man or woman. For no one can measure another person's greatness just by their appearance. Whoever thought Obama will become the 44th president of the United States... Today he is one of them. Support the dreams of your friend, husband, wife, children and strangers who have shown grit and determination to make something great for themselves. Never question greatness.

When you get sick he calls, when he gets sick, he still calls you. You have plenty airtime on your phone, but  he calls you several times a day just to check up on you. Even when you don't have airtime, he still calls. Your birthday comes, he spoils you and buys you  expensive gifts. When his birthday comes, he forgets his and takes you out to dinner or lunch. He sends you money and calls to confirm if you have received a message alert. But you only flash him to confirm. Here you are,  sitting, now feeling angry and scolding him that he hasn't called you for the past  one week. If only he could tell you that you are the queen of his world, you will then understand why he works so hard. He takes you out for lunch, takes care of your bills, you dressed better than him on that day and you complained that he has dressed inappropriately to go out with you. Yet he manages to arrange for your transport safe back home whiles he walks on foot to his own home. He secr...

There are certain moments in life, when you lose it, you can never get it back again as the way it used to be. One of them is dealing with  the death of a dear one or with the death of someone very special to you. Consuming pain and hiding it inside heaps more hurt and emotional frustration. When death snatches someone so close to you, depending on the relationship, you feel like you can never replace such a person or sometimes you may feel like your whole world is gone from under your feet. But grief, Sadness, death and frustration in life as supposed to happiness, Joy and the excitement that come to us are all part of the rites of passage to this life. We will all go through each of them one way or the other. Rich or poor, young and old. We may experience happiness today for example on our wedding day, or on a birth of our baby but just in contrast to that, we may experience death or sadness tomorrow. Must we scream and curse God, the maker of this life that he has been unfai...
