Vernon Derby and Shaniqua Townsend Joined In Matrimony

Vernon and Shaniqua


Vernon

I have not seen my son in about 18 years, since that day when the family fell apart. It is a horrible feeling when you lose your children like that. It feels as if they have died. Sometimes you dream about them, and sometimes you get close to other young people, hoping to fill that void.

A few weeks ago, I got a call. It was a call to change things. My son was about to get married. I needed to travel to the US for the wedding. I have not travelled for many years, and I did not have a passport or a US visa.

It was easy to get that passport. Oh yes, things have improved significantly at PICA. Can you imagine taking a passport picture and getting it back immediately from the photographer?

The challenge was to get that visa to attend the wedding in New York. It was not meant to be due to the short time I had. It was sad to know that my first son got married, and I was not able to attend the wedding. One thing we have to learn is that we don't direct life; it directs us.

I found it interesting that the wedding ceremony was very short. I don't think it took more than about ten minutes. I was in contact via WhatsApp, and it seemed as if something went wrong and the contact was lost. I was not able to get back the person who was transmitting the video to me.

Mi son tun big man a yard now wid woman. I give thanks that I have lived to see that day.  I expect he and his wife will work together because far more can be achieved when people work together for the betterment of the home and society. Oonu just hurry up and give me a young Vernon because I don't have all the time in the world.

Thanks to those people who stood by me, prayed for me; some were even more disappointed than me when I did not get to go to the wedding. Thanks for your continued support. Blessings to you all.
