Joan Cassells AKA Queenie Tribute

In the 28 years of my life I created & shared countless memories with my mother, the impact that she has had on my life goes far beyond the comprehension of the human mind. There are not enough words in anyones vocabulary to express the countless gifts that she has bestowed upon me but they say paper is more patient than man so hopefully my addition to this page will start the process of expressing what ny mother meant to me . The memory that I shared with my mother that stands out in my mind occured on the 14th of February 2001, unlike when I had Cherish on May 10th 1999 [ Aunty Princesss Pauline Mommy & Grandma were all in the delivery room with me they weren't allowed to be but we made our own rules that day] Mommy was the only 1 with me when I had Dream aka Mizani I will never forget the first thing that my mother said to me she said ""Kayann this one kill you dead she look just like you & Victor" [my father]. Despite the dissapointment that she felt that once again I was having yet another child out of wedlock & I still had not become financially stable. Her voice quiverred with fear but at the same time exploded with joy. Many times in my life I regretted bringing mychildren into this world I always wondered what would I have become if I didn't have to be responsible for two other lives in addition to my own. Not until June 2,2008 did I realise that I had made the right decision I gave life to two beautiful girls that brought joy into the life of my mother, no matter how much my mother & I struggled with my girls she would never let me give up on myself or my children. She gave me the gift of life & I returned the favor by extending her family so even in death she has once again given me another gift she has shown me that she gave me life & I gave her a whole nother life in return. For that reason I do not regret having my children my only fulfillment in this time of sorrow is knowing that I was able to contribute the greatest gift to my mother without even trying.
