Hi, Milly (@millycf1976).
It's always nice to honor parents with a visit, especially when many years have passed.
When I saw the picture of you with your parents, I couldn't help but read your post; I'm very curious.
As I began to read, I did it with a smile, but as I passed the words I came across the insecurity in Jamaica and I felt that you were talking about my country, Venezuela.
Venezuela has been transformed and now insecurity reigns everywhere many have done like you, they have left for other countries. I will not stay behind, I have postponed going, but I deserve the quality of life and do not want to continue living behind four walls and bars.
I loved your story, despite its sad parts, but the beauty of it all is that you were able to share it with your family.
Greetings from Caracas.
Thanks for your lovely comment German!
Yes, I see lots of similarities between Venezuela and Jamaica. I'll always remember the chats I had with Chavez when he was alive. He never liked to see a light on, when there was no darkness.
"Turn the switch off when not in use," he said to the staff, always.
It's sad that such a beautiful region experiences such inhumane acts... and as another author mentioned Haiti (many Haitians are now in Jamaica too).
Yes, it meant the world to me to meet my family again.💚
