I grew up poor with my biological dad. Mum and dad struggled to put a proper meal on the table, talk less about buying books and shoes for school. Our home had no inside toilet and bath, and we caught rainwater to bathe or filled water from a standpipe less than a block away from home.
I'd like to give you an insight into the concept of grief and the hourglass of time, which I first learned about when I was at college.
I can remember to a great depth, painful memories, where my mum suffered constant abuse at the hands of my biological dad. My siblings and I witnessed it as early as I was five years old.
At 11 years old, my mum had to flee to seek a safe house for herself and her four children, separating from my dad and getting a restraining order against him, with hopes of being safe.
Then, Wayne, my stepdad, came into our lives. He replaced our memories of hurt and pain with fond memories of love. He treated mum like the queen she was and loved her unconditionally.
We lived in bliss until 4pm on the 23rd of December 2000, when mum received a phone call from the hospital that superhero stepdad had died
