“A Softer Note”

Listening too and reading the news about Trinidad and Tobago is heartrending. I honestly took living in Trinidad for granted. I remember when I was a teenager my parents and 3 siblings were on holiday abroad … leaving me home alone. One of my brothers and his family was living about three short blocks from our parents' home, another brother was living 30 minutes away and another one was living in Port-of-Spain, 30 years ago that would have been three hours away. I was very comfortable being home alone. Sleeping at nights with windows and doors open. That is how safe Trinidad and Tobago was— A simple life. Today a different story. Oh how I took life for granted…
