    "See Through Their Eyes! Feel Their Rebound Spirits! Ooze Strength with Grace, And Wisdom with Blessings : They Came Before: and filtered, Generationally" was a May 31 constraint project, capturing and reflect in on real experiences among my grandmothers, parents and me.  

     My little brother and I dislodge the marabunta nest from its mooring under the raised fireside.  We were unprepared against the skillful insect aviators, were out manned, got stung, assumed the boyhood gender role as father expected but mother treated our injuries and nurtured our pride.  No sooner had that experienced passed, then I  watch the blue saki birds eating sage berries and money bush fruits and I jealously drove them off and guarded the bright red berries and sweet honey brown fruits.  

     Grand Ma Rosaline had mango farm aback of the village of Buxton and as children, we ate and fetched the boat loads of mangoes into her house.  Grand Ma had many fruit trees in her yard and garden which provide ample supplies all year round.  Besides fruits, herbs and many vegetables she grew in her garden thee was a fish and lily pond.  Her cows provided milk to drink and sell and coconut water was served at large family gatherings.  My second Grand Ma had tamarind, dunks and more coconut trees, and the children were happy to be there.

     I remembered going to village Atlantic Ocean shoreline cruida forest where the shore birds lived, and the mysterious 'Land Crabs' were caught to make appetizing meals.  

     I learned a great deal from Grand Ma Rosaline who had 21 children and Grand Ma Louisa who had 4 children.  Grand Ma Louisa's husband, Richard Nicholls Senior, drown in the Mighty Potaro river  He was a diamond seeker.  Grand Ma Louisa named her new born son after her husband Richard to bring her comfort.  Grand Ma Rosaline was also a widow when I knew her.  Although both grandmothers had difficult lives,  they thought us good values to maintain when we grew up.  My mother and father also helped to buttress and keep the family on the straights and narrow.  I believe that by sharing my experience with you that someone will benefit and crystalize their dreams
