Today I had a conversation I haven't had for a long time: about childcare, house husbands and the satisfaction of a career. I had forgotten my phrases I used to use, the words I learned as the way people understand what I feel inside, for what I feel needs an interpreter to convert the feeling into word, a Google translate for the soul. We didn't connect through the brief conversation but I knew that if we had continued we would connect.
The moment that came closest to overwhelming me, the moment when I thought I might have an emotional outburst in the cinema, that silent tears was not enough of a release, that moment was when he faced the hardest thing, the thing that haunted him and he went back to Jamaica and it was good. This is a story which shows the good, but the good was there to be told.
