Episode 10: Daddy Issues

I had a very peculiar relationship with my father. I knew that he loved me, but he did not show it in the normal way. He never told us that he loved us growing up, nor hugged us nor kissed us nor played with us like other fathers did. He would do that with his nieces and nephews, even with his friends kids but not with his own flesh and blood. However, when the grand-kids came, he would do that with them. He took us to the moves, to dinner every year on my mother's birthday, to the beach every Sunday growing up. He was a good provider but not a gentle father. The first time I remember hearing my father tell me that he loved me, was when he was asking for our forgiveness on a visit to Jamaica when we were having a meal together, the day before we (my kids, my mother, my brother, and his family, and I) heading back home to Washington State. In retropective, I now understand that was because of how he was brought up. I only wish, he had told me sooner. I now live with regret of what could have been if I had a little more time with him.

Episode 9: Intentional versus Mistake

Intentional versus mistake can feel the same to the person on the end of the hurt. We react differently to the person dishing out the hurt depending on the intention of the person. Did they intentionally want to hurt us or was it a mistake and I just got hurt as a result. We are more likely to forgive someone who mistakenly hurt us, than someone who intentionally hurt us. This episode focuses on our reactions to those situations, and our resulting forgiveness or malice.

Episode 8: Tribute to Mummy (Part 2 of 2)

Second hour of non-stop musical tribute to Mummy. Hope you enjoy listening to this musical session, with some of my mother's favorite Bob Marley, Third World, and other songs that I heard growing up in Jamaica. Mummy, I know that you are listening and enjoying your favorite hits. Love and miss you always and forever. Enjoy!!!

Episode 7: Tribute to Mummy (Part 1 of 2)

My mother was my hero. I didn't always tell her that, but I believe she knew it. I did, however, get to tell her before she passed away on February 3 of this year (2026). Sometimes, we do take our parents for granted, not fully appreciating all that they sacrificed for us, and then we live with regret in not being able to show them how grateful we are for them. This episode, is the first of two, musically tributes to my Mummy. She loved music, and this is one of the ways that I will like to honor her memory. Hope you enjoy it.
