Growing Up Like A Jamaican - Thanks for Taking This Journey With Me

When I found this collection of letters after my Grandfather's passing I knew I wanted to share them. So I would like to say thank Jamaicans.com for going on this trip down memory lane with me. And as we close out another year - where does the time go? I hope that your 2009 was good and that 2010 is great!

Growing Up Like A Jamaican-2

When I found this collection of letters after my Grandfather's passing I knew I wanted to share them. So I would like to say thank Jamaicans.com for going on this trip down memory lane with me. And as we close out another year - where does the time go? I hope that your 2009 was good and that 2010 is great!

The following letter was written by only my grandfather Stafford because my grandmother - Ms. Ella - had already gone home in 1991.

Bless up! Dahlia D. Welsh http://www.dahliadwelsh.com

Hello Dahlia,

First I must say greetings to you in the name of our loving saviour who love before we love 1st John 4 v 19. Let me hope when these few lines reach you it may find you content and in the best of health and I wish you a Merry Christmas, success, prosperous New Year and may you live and enjoy yourself with many more. Yes D your letters I've received and was very glad to hear from you may the Lord richly bless you by your steps I see wherein that you truly love me and I also love you and I truly miss grandma. Say hi to the family may God bless and keep you.

P.T.O. (I think that means Page Turn Over because it was the end of the first side of the letter)

I'm very sorry I forgot to thank you for what you're sending for me. I thank you very much.
