‘Well dad, I lost you 38 years ago. That is more than half my lifetime. Didn’t take the time to mourn you as it is so hard to do. Happy Father’s Day dad. Wishing you were still here to tell me about those small stories with huge impact, like Castro and Batista (Cuban Revolution 52-59), World War II (39-45), and how hard it was for Jamaica during the 30s and 40s. We are at war again dad.? The entire world is in flame.

Dad, I sometimes tell people the part about how Jamaicans had to eat leather boots, during the war, as they were made out of cow skin back in those days. Some persons laugh and say, ‘Gal yuh fool fool, that can’t be true’. I always laughed back thinking, ‘what the hell difference does it make if it is true or not? ??????’. It is the moral of the story idiot.??
Today, I am officially a miner, dad. Yes, your little gal finally found her groove. I absolutely love what I see in mining. It is exciting times in spite of the war. Mining comes with its ups and downs, but I have learned how to swing, and I am doing that right now as I have a mine to build. Like I always say, ‘they don’t pay me the big bucks for mediocrity’. Got to get this job done.? They also say, ‘weh it maaga it pops’, but I won’t let it pop dad. I do not fail on any job. And this one is tough, but I got it. I am walking on blades, but I still have legs???? ???? ????(Extract from A Gal Called David, by Courtney Vaughan; Chapter 24; Notes To My Dad).’
Happy Father’s Day to all those females whose fathers have gone too soon. May they rest. And may God grace you with the strength to continue your journey without your dad??.
Happy Father’s Day to the men of the world who continue to be a dad to their little bwoys and gals no matter what.? A dozen roses to all of you big guys????????????????????????, enjoy your special day. Happy Father’s Day guys.????????????????????????????????????????♂???♀?.
