Hey Guyana, how yuh going girl? Long time no see, what’s been going on with you?

Well boy, is like this, ah leff mih mother house in ’66 , married to man that was full of ambition for us, he and I formed a great alliance to take on the world and we did, for a short time we were good at it, but then the world fought back and the realities of doing business set in, we made great children though, tough, bright innovative young men and women, but we couldn’t provide opportunities and many left seeking jobs overseas, them doing good yuh know, really making us proud.

I did hear when yuh fuss husband dead, was big news…

Yes, he had a lot of good ideas and we business laid plenty foundations…but he did lil wrong and strong , not a great manager, more of an ideas man, so we did really brucks by the time he end up in the hospital…  then he cousin tek over the business and we really perks nicely.

So what happen to he?

Well the children get big and they start making decisions, some democracy nonsense they read in school, so after 28 years of one way of doing things dem encourage fuh get marrid again. I tek a new man , he come wid he own baggage but was a nice change.
