THE time has really come for me to leave totally the field of writing. She gave me valuable recognition as a children’s writer by including one of my stories, “The Laziest of Birds” in her publication “The Lure of the Mermaid and other Stories.” Mrs. Jagan wrote me several letters of an encouraging tone and I found it difficult to fail her with respect to her expectations transmitted to me in our face to face interactions that I continue writing. She classified my children’s stories as “beautiful.” Now that Mrs. Jagan is not, I have decided to completely cease all writings for the rest of my life. She was basically my reason for writing resting on her expectations. None can take her place in my life with respect to writing; she was a rare gift. She inspired me. I wish to thank the Chronicle for publishing “I will sing for You,” on March 30 in remembrance of Mrs. Jagan. It is destined to be my last poem. I will not pen another poem in my lifetime.
My decision is linked to the death of Mrs. Janet Jagan.
Mrs. Jagan has been an encouragement to me. As a matter of fact, the two of us functioned regularly, along with others, in the Children’s Page of the Mirror to which we contributed short stories, I contributing poems too. My effort has been published for over fifteen years.
