    When she said “we won’t meet on earth again”, I got teary eyed. My great grandmother told me the same thing… she was perfectly healthy and died the next day.
    Our elders are much more wise than we give them credit for.

    I love the way she told you not to open them infront of people, reminded me of my nan sending me home after visiting for a few weeks with hardo bread, a bagful of biscuits, carrot juice, spiced bun and some other things she had prepared as a going gift she always took us out of sight from the rest of the family to give us money and say don't make nobody trouble u enuh, this brought back those memories of the goodbyes especially the talk about god take care of you untill we meet again. Something very pure and warming about Jamaican elders like this woman. Beautiful people. 🖤🇯🇲

    I’ve ordered some of those chocolate tea balls from Jamaica and still have some. They are good in the winter in the United States. I was introduced to them in 1984 by an Army buddy who was married to a Jamaican woman. The first time drinking it is the best and it’s even better when you get to drink it in Jamaica..
