I loved reading this piece Janaki to learn about your early life. Lovely to join you in this Lenten study I felt I would like to share a little of who I am.I was born in Liverpool England and moved to Canada with my husband 2 years after we were married. We went back home after 3 years and my daughter was born while we were living with my parents. Returned to Canada with our baby daughter and had 2 sons. Now a widow since 1995 with grandchildren and great grandchildren and living in a lovely residence at 94 years old I am truly blessed.

You raise a good point. I believe breadfruit, and possibly jackfruit are also "illegal: immigrants in Jamaica, as well as curry leaves, and much of the leafy greens that Ammi grows in her backyard. Borders and boundaries are the work of men, mangos and such delites are the work of God. :-)
