Author's Remarks:
The cultural ethos that has been foremost in my life, that I unquestionably respect, honour and treasure immensely, is the Barbadian one, among whose precepts is the Stirling and outstanding one that we Bajans should never fear anyone or anything, and that includes Death which is not only inevitable but also something that in normal circumstances we should admire, as well as truly and wholeheartedly welcome when it naturally makes its undoubted appearance. A tenet that I distinctively subscribe to immensely and inevitably both expectantly and personally forever embrace as my own. Amen!
