Paramaribo

my story...  — 1 year ago

Surinam(Paramaribo) 21st May 1979….is when i first opened my eyes…here is where the story of my life begings….living on the family ranch.. we had everything! i was so happy and feeling so wonderful, i played in the big green fields, the fruitgardens where i use to play and hide with my older brother…the beautiful cola creek, and not to forget the white sands of sanderai…i cant remember to much because i was 7 years when we left from Surinam to the Netherlands. But i know that i had the most wonderful childhood where i use to play in the gardens of flowers and the swings on the huge trees….ahh…life was so beautiful….!

My fathers family has done the same

Although dad settled in Australia and most of his brothers went to New York he also had a brother and sister who migrated from Suriname to Holland. Many of his cousins have done the same.

I’m sure dad misses his old home too – though there is no one left there for him to visit except a few of his sisters children and some of his cousins – whom he has lost contact with.
