My father had been in the Army for 24 years. When
his duty was finished he brought us all (10
children) here, to Canada for a better future. My
mother wanted to go to Australia, and I wish my
father listened to her, especially in the winter
time here. I love Canada, but if I had a wish, I
want to go to Malta and spend the rest of my life
there.
I was 15 years old when I came to Toronto. The only
thing that surprised me was the snow. Now I cannot
stand it. I am not a winter person. I love the
Spring and Summer seasons.
My father passed away 4 years ago this Nov. 15, God
Rest His Soul. We miss him very much. He worked hard
all his life. He was a postman in Toronto for 25
years. Nobody in Malta remember him, how he fought
in the army and also lost his brother at the age of
25 years old. He was not even mentioned on a Maltese
website where they mentioned all the soldiers. His
family, which now includes his 29 grandchildren and
24 great-grandchildren are deeply hurt about this,
but here in Toronto, we will never forget him.
I am proud of being his daughter. He was proud to be
Maltese, and he thought us to be proud and always
speak Maltese. Even my sister who was 6 months old
when we arrived in Canada, can speak Maltese. I am
sorry I had to get this out. I am very hurt, that no
one appreciated what he done for Malta and the
Maltese People.
Thank you for letting me write this out. Thank you
John and thank you for your Ghana Website. I love
everything you do and the hard work you put into it.
