INTRODUCTION
I didn't see my father as much as I wanted. He didn't have a normal "nine to five" job where you could look forward to him coming home every day - and then put him through total stress. No, we had to wait months at a time to see both Mummy and Daddy (actually we call Mummy "Maw"- kinda southern, don't you think?). And you can imagine how stressed they would get - remember now, it's eleven of us. We all know how much a boy needs his father. But what about the daughters? The love you feel for him when he's there is so strong. He's your protector, your shield, your strongman. If a kid messes with you, you call your dad. He came to my school once when I told him a girl was teasing me about him being a rasta. I wouldn't cry in front of her, but I cried to him. I pointed out the girl, and he called her over and told her not to trouble his daughter. She then asked for an autograph and he gave it to her. I asked him "why you do dat? Now she thinks you like her." I wonder if he's still laughing. The memories of the time a daughter spends with her father are cherished. There is a part of my heart reserved for just those memories. And the times we shared were not only precious, they were essential to me. It has been said that if a father is righteous, he helps to mold a young girl's soul into a spirit of a woman. My father was a righteous man.
The pain I feel now that he's not here with us has made my love for him even stronger. I would do anything to have him back. I'm sure we all would. Just to see him smile, to hear his voice one more time. But my father has left us with a strong legacy. I don't mean just me and my brothers and sisters, but all of us.
In each and everyone of us there is a little piece of his love that keeps us singing. Singing these songs of freedom.
