Almost done. Then it's Freshwater time.
A victim of Hurricane Aris
"... For the Suffer Wey You Suffer For Me" Every mother suffers. We start punishing our mothers' bodies long before the pain of pushing us out. And then, once born, we take their breastmilk, their sanity and anything in between. Later in our lives, we learn how to speak and, later still, to praise. At times though, we end up celebrating their suffering more than we celebrate them. Understandable perhaps. We don't know them: they sacrificed large swathes of whoever they were (or wanted to be) to become the mothers we know. I don't want that for you, Shari. I don't want you to suffer any more than you have to before deserving to have Sweet Mother songs written about you. And so, I am recommitting myself to finding more ways to lighten your load. Especially (though not exclusively) at home. Aris is too young to know how lucky he is to have you for a mother; how much better his life will be for it ... but you are more than a mother. And I recommit myself towards doing everything in my power to give you room. To be.
The Crown.
