Song for My Father: A West Indian Journey Samuel S. Brian
In 1942 my father, Darwin Fitzgerald ('Gerry') Samuel, boards a British ship and leaves his native Grenada, bound for war-torn Britain. In 1950, two years after the Empire Windrush had opened the flood gates to England, our father went home with his young family: a man on the up. He worked in the armaments industry, qualified as a teacher, and married Scottish nurse Nelleen Hogan.
To say our father was unprepared is putting it mildly: he was in a state of shock, for he had no inkling of this pending abandonment by his wife of ten years. Pity, it wouldn't last.One fateful day in 1960 while living in Trinidad, my mother walked out on us without warning or nary a goodbye to her three young sons, thrusting us into the sole care of our father. But despite his shock, there was one thing he would never do: abandon his sons.
