I listen to Motown classics, gospel music and pulsating reggae, he unwinds to raw Hip Hop and Youtube Reality vids (without headphones no matter how I insist! )
Thirteen years of living (age difference) separates us but an island living experience weaves a binding thread that keeps us connected in myriad ways.
When he looks at me he sees a younger version of his Grandmother who raised him and a mother who was often times physically absent but who loves him regardless.
And quite often, the aroma of my cooking pulls him back to the house in Bellefield, Manchester, where he grew up before he left for Canada at the age of 15.
