Tick, tock...I feel like I am dying.

On the third day of my trip to Jamaica last month I took Cai's hand and led him onto the road to visit a friend who has a business in the community. While I was catching up with with my friend and his wife a small group of his customers joined the discussion that morphed from "how is your family?" to a spirited debate on politics and the economy. As the small crowd grew a tall, loud man came onto the scene and said "A who dis Christine, you rememba mi Christine?" I said, "Yes I rememba yu Gary". Gary enquired about Cai's age and when I told him 2 1/2 he responded, "Mi rememba wen yu was fi him age how yu nearly ded". I was curious to hear more about my 'near death' experience and I curiously prodded for more. The story goes. One night I became really sick with asthma and my mother rushed me to the nearest Doctor about 10 miles away. The Doctor refused to see me because he claimed that my mother had switched my care to a new Docto...

DEATH TOLL FROM TROPICAL STORM NICOLE NOW 13

Arthur Hall, Senior Staff Reporter The death toll from the heavy rain associated with what developed into Tropical Storm Nicole continues to climb as more bodies are fished from from flooded waterways and the sea. Five more bodies were found yesterday, bringing the unofficial death toll to 13, with a further eight persons missing believed dead. Yesterday morning brought an end to the search for 42-year-old William Bailey and his common-law-wife, 34-year-old Skeeta Young. They were among six persons declared missing after a two-bedroom house in Sandy Park, St Andrew, collapsed into the Sandy Gully on Wednesday. The bodies were fished from the sea near Seaview Gardens, St Andrew, shortly before 10 a.m. after they were spotted by residents. Two other bodies were found later in the day, one at PetroJam off Spanish Town Road, and the other at the waterfront of the Kingston Wharf.      READ MORE AT: More bodies - Nicole casualties climb Death toll:13

More photos of Maggotty.

DAY 2: Rain, rain and more rain.

It has been raining in my part of Jamaica non-stop for three days. That is never good news because as much as we love the fact that a river runs through our district it also means that when we have torrential rains there is increased risk of flooding. I am sharing some of the pictures that I have been receiving from home. Please keep Maggotty and other parts of Jamaica in your prayers.
