Dada Culzac
DaDa loved to go to Mass. He was a strict
Catholic. He made sure that his children and
grandchildren went to church every week. Dada
remembered when the first Catholic school in
St Vincent was built in the early 1900s. He was
one of the first children to attend the school.
My Great Granddad loved sugar and anything
that was too sweet. He liked to drink tea in his
favourite orange cup, but he would not drink it
until it had four tablespoons of sugar in it.
My mother said that once when she was a child,
DaDa asked her to make him a cup of tea.
She used his favourite orange cup and put in
three tablespoons of sugar. When he tasted it,
he said, “this ain’t got no sugar, go add another
spoon to it!”
It was so funny to hear that my DaDa got
diabetes when he was ninety-eight years old
because the disease is usually detected much
earlier. His doctor told him he had to stop
drinking sugar.
