He  was  too  young  to  understand,  but  when  he  grew  up,  he  went
          searching for his roots and found his biological father. When he found

          him, my story about his father was confirmed. He also  found other

          brothers and sisters—some younger, some older than himself. Now he
          has  become  a  handsome  young  man  with  a  family  of  his  own.

          Blessings.

          My son—one half of my twins—had a kidney problem and needed a

          transplant a few years after she came up. I was the first to volunteer but

          was turned down because I wasn't healthy enough. My other twin also
          tried,  without  success.  One  by  one,  we  were  turned  down.  Other

          members of the family tried, but none were successful.

          She ended up getting a Chinese kidney. So, she was always craving

          Chinese food.

          It  has  been  a  long,  hard  journey,  but  I  enjoy  lots  of  love  from  my

          children—especially now, in the sunset of my life. They all make sure

          I am never alone.

          I made sure not to mention too many names. But my baby girl, who

          was burnt on her hand with the hot spoon, has now become a beautiful
          young woman. The Lord has blessed me with one wonderful son-in-

          law. I believe that after he was made, they broke the mold. There is not

          another one like him. I truly thank GOD for him.

          My story was just a lonely, lost, unfortunate young girl in a big city

          with no family—neither in Jamaica nor in Canada. My half-brothers
