Growing up in the hills of St Ann’s, this young girl was on a course for adventure and new beginnings. Here Edna reveals more...

When I think of Nana, I think of the Downie family gatherings. Lots of fun, laughter, food and games and Nana is always at the centre of it and I am sure that’s when she is at her happiest. She is a massive character that we all love, each and every generation. I used to go to her house from when I was in primary school with Krystle and Nana would look after me like I was her own grandchild and
even now she is always happy to see me and my family even if it has been years since our last meeting. Really it’s like a week hasn’t gone by. I consider Nana and the rest of the Downie family my extended family and I’m so glad that they know me and now my husband and children and that we can still see each other and laugh and catch up even if it is once a year on a birthday.

A Childhood

hat did you love about Jamaica? I missed the sun the fruits, the freedom. I missed my brothers and sisters and Muma and wanted to go back. I cried for a whole year. Then when I got pregnant with Sandra I cried for another year. Them times it was only God who helped me.
How did you meet your partner? What did you like about him? He was the lodger, and it was his dad’s house. He used to make cakes. He was cute and used to dress nice. He had a big lip but it was nice. He was willing to help with Sandra. When I came from school, it was only me, him and Shirley. He was five years older than me, I was 15 and he was 20. We were drawn together through

Nana’s never been backwards about coming forwards and she doesn't mince her words - if you ask her for an opinion - be it about a dress or a hairstyleyou’re guaranteed to hear it as she thinks it - "Krys-tal, yu head dry fi a red skin gurl" #nofilter!

rowing up with Nana, the biggest thing that stands out was Callingham House, Nana’s flat in Clapham North that was the hub of the Downie, Beason, Whymes and Graham tribes. Christmases were wonderful and a mix of food smells and presents. One law that certainly wasn’t popular was Nana’s rule that we had to tidy up and wash before we could open our presants! The delicious foods and games in abundance always made up for it. KRYSTLE
n e r d l i h
T
o me, Nana is comfor t and reassurance. She was one of the few people who believed me besides my mum when I first got sick. She was someone who encouraged my mum to not give up finding a diagnosis for me, whilst doing all she could to make me feel better herself. In the 18 years since then, that hasn’t changed, Nana always goes above and beyond to help us all in anyway she can, even at a cost to herself. The selflessness she displays as the matriarch of our family is a shining example of the type of person I’m sure we all aim to be. So thank you Nana for never giving up, always offering advice (even if it sometimes falls on deaf ears) and encouraging us in your own way to be the best versions of ourselves.

o My Mummy…what can I say, my Mum always did the best she could and I’m fortunate to say that from a very early age, I understood that God was my Father. God would look after me and watch over me when she couldn’t, so we were always covered. I always felt she would put me first, for that fact my mum is the greatest. I’m blessed to say that whatever I wanted within reason, I would receive and for that I am grateful. Whenever I thought I couldn’t, my Mummy showed me I could, it’s amazing how wonderful a woman she is and I thank God for her, I really do.

Luckiest Daughter For being your daughter, I’m extremely proud. To love you dearly, forever I’ve vowed. Together we’ve laughed, together we’ve grown. Your voice warms my heart, each time on the phone. Countless lessons of life, from you I have learned. No matter my age, you’re always concerned.
You’re not just my mother, but also my friend. When we go shopping, we know where to spend. Words can’t fully describe, how I truly feel. The bond that we share, is a very big deal. You have nurtured and cared, since the day of my birth. I feel like the luckiest, daughter on earth. itsmymagazine.com | March 23 1948

A Mother Like You
To say that you're wonderful, is just not enough. You're absolutely amazing, both beautiful and tough. I couldn't have asked, for a better mother than you. I'll love you forever, that shall always be true.
You are a special lady, that places others ahead. Always worked tirelessly, to provide me with shelter and bread. You've always encouraged me, to reach for the stars. Taught me the importance, of brushing off scars. I enjoy talking with you, laughing and spending time. When we are apart, it feels like a crime. For everything you have done, and all that you do, I'm fortunate and lucky, to have a mother like you.

I
remember having a great childhood, growing up with my three sisters. My mum has always been a hard worker and her main gaol was to provide for us to make sure we wanted for nothing. I remember tr ying to think of interesting things to talk to her about. and when she told me not to do something I used to always ask why, why why. When I had my first child at a young age she was there for me and are relationship became even more special. I have never wanted to let her down. and am extreamly greatfurll for her love and suppor t, through all the diffeent layers of my life, from being a mother, to studying for my drgree and to become a teacher to star ting my interior design business when myson was a baby and developing a proper ty por tfolio. She has alway been there. thanks Mum!

hat is a stand out memory from your youth? One time I went into school early and I was playing with a girl called Nurlene, and we were playing with a cane and I told her not to lick me with it, she did and it stung. Me and her ended up fighting, ever yone was shocked saying ‘Miss Edna a fight, Miss Edna a fight!’ And ever yone gathered around but dispersed as soon as we saw Teacher James’ car pulling in. What was the best part of those days? It was getting Callingham House and I went to Brixton and got big food and yam to celebrate. But that’s when I star ted putting on weight The hardest par t? Being a single parent, making all the decisions and putting in all of the world. However, when they were sick, like with Chicken pox, they had it all at the same time. What makes you proud of your children? They’ve done well for themselves, they worked hard themselves to reach where they are. If you could have three wishes, what would they be? 1) I’d like a nice house where I could bring my grandchildren 2) I’d like a companion, a man of God 3) If I itsmymagazine.com | March 23 1948 could lose three stone, I’d be fine.

Forever
H
i Darling Kr ystle!! .... Receiving this note from you Kr ystle has sent me on a major emotional rollercoaster. You see you were the catalyst that brought Edna and I even closer together as friends. We first met at the BBC and I’m ashamed to say that in those days there were no black people around.
But I found Edna and we became firm friends - to the shock of my white colleagues! However it was when your mum became pregnant with you that Edna really needed support, guidance and someone to just say - it will all work out - that really solidified our friendship. Edna is a strong woman but those days were challenging for her as she worried so much about the future. Anyway you were born Krystle, and from that day I know you let a bright light shine into Edna’s world.
I’ve watched from near and sometimes from afar, but she’s always been in my heart. I’ve seen the love you and all your extended family have for Edna and it’s amazing. She deserves every bit of it. I wish Edna a very fabulous 70th birthday and I will always be here for her and I am so proud to call Edna my Friend, Px And by the way, Edna taught me to cook. So even more thanks for that. God bless. PATRICIA TAYLOR

y Mum is the best Mum in the world, she has always looked out for both me and my children. She was there when I broke my ankle and found it hard to walk, she came ready, made her special beef soup to “build me up” and make me stronger to recover faster. Mum was there for me consistently when they told me I had MS in 2013-2014 and I didn’t know how I would cope. But she just kept telling me to pray and read my Bible every day which I try to do every single day.

here are many things I could thank you for and the list would be endless, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, for some of the key things you sacrificed in your life to ensure that I had the best possible start in life: Thank you for carrying me for nine hard, long months during challenging circumstances...Thank you for responding to my every cry; my cry for hunger, my cry for boredom and my cry for discomfort, Thank you for the many sleepless nights you had to endure, to ensure I was safe and settled…Thank you for encouraging and reassuring me on my first day at school…Thank you for coping with me through my teenage years, when I thought I knew it all. Lol! Thank you for the many hours you stood in front of the cooker cooking and stood in front of the kitchen sink, washing up… Thank you for giving me the practical skills needed to raise my own children and run my own home…Thank you for raising me until I passed the worst…Thank you for all the sacrifices you made just for me! Thank you for all the time and effort you invested in me…Thank you for all the tears you cried for me. Not one drop was wasted, And thank you Mum, most of all for introducing me to The Most High God! Amen. I love you Mum! God bless you and keep you!

That Dress... “I recall the family were planning a surprise 40th birthday party for Nana and me and her were so tight- I couldn’t keep the juicy news away from her! I let her know and she whispered back- Good girl! And made an extra effort to get ready that night. For some reason I have it in mind that she wore this dress. It was always a favourite of Nanas and you could tell she felt like a fly girl in it.”

All the grandkids used to stay at Nana’s over the weekend- particularly when we were younger and I think that is part of the reason we became so close. One particular time I was staying at Nana’s- and it was in the morning- she was probably cooking. So deep in the misdt of sleep (I was about 8) i just feel a BAM in my face, near my eye and forehead. Open up my eyes, dazed and confused, I wake up to see Stefanie’s big “y’eye” (eyes) staring down at me, with a boot in her hand. I ran screaming to the kitchen for Nana to explain that she’s only three and that she’d hit me with it to wake me up as she loved me so much she wanted to play with meHow can I blame her for that?! Well no one else could have got away with that type of reasoning there, but coming from Nana, it worked!

y earliest memory of Nana is at the BBC where she was Head Caterer in the canteen. Now for a greedy child like me- it was bliss. I got unfettered access to the foods and desserts then afterwards we’d make our way home at the back of the top deck of the 88 bus. Every journey was an opportunity to learn and she never tired of my constant questions. Our bond was tight. There was one time I remember not listening to her, to my detriment. We were going home on the tube and she always told me to stand behind her when we were going down the escalator. Except this time I got bright and squeezed my way in front- I was a big girl now. She let me go, watching as I made my way downbut then I started speeding up- barrelling down the escalator is addictive, until I tripped and I was rolling down head over toes like a washing machine; all I saw was legs and all I could hear was her scream. Until finally I remember a man reaching down and dragging me up by my collar like a lion cub just before I reached the bottom. Despite the battering to my ego- I was fine and Nana didn’t even have to say I told you so. Like our Father in heaven, she knew that what I wanted was not necessarily what I was ready for- and let me learn a lesson that stood me in good stead (I’ve never stopped being fast though;-P)

Nana, you are wonderful, so gentle, and yet so strong. You’ve always shown that you care, and without a doubt I belong. You’ve been patient when I’ve strayed, and offered guidance when asked. It seems you can do anything, and fantastic with every task. Always a source of calming comfort and a safety net when I fall. Your love helps me in stressful times and supports me through it all.

ana is very good at making home-made medicine because when I was younger she always used some Aloe Vera to heal my cuts and make it better. What I love about Nana is that she is caring because after school she always gives me something to eat and she always made me some hats and scarf that she knitted and crocheted and she even taught me how to knit and crochet. Also when I was younger, she always hugged me in her coat and made sure I was warm and Nana would make the best Jamaican food, just like my dad. This is why Nana is the best. suit, and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have him any other way!â&#x20AC;?

Do you have any hobbies or special interests? Knitting and crocheting, I used to like cooking but not anymore as I’ve been doing it for 62 years. What’s your best piece of advice for living? Believe in God he will lift you up when you’re down and is your comforter, healer and soul mate. In the middle of the night when you’re lonely, just talk to him. Psalm 27 is my favourite Bible passage, I used to read it a lot when I was kicked out when the children were young. I was baptized in 2005 and it was special as it was something I always wanted to do. I promised God that as soon as I got to Jamaica, I would take the step and be involved in a church, I’m so glad that I did!

Dear Aunty Edna, I want to take this opportunity to wish you an amazing 70th Birthday. To everyone else you were ‘Nana’ but you were always Auntie Edna to me. I have many fond memories of spending quality time with you during the school holidays and weekend. I especially remember that famous cup of ‘special tea’ which when I would later find out that it was time for our annual wash out! Omar and I are very grateful that you were able to attend our wedding in Jamaica almost 13 years ago and the support you have given to us and our children. I am regularly informing friends and colleagues of the importance of the saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child. I often give examples of how the success of my upbringing does not rely solely on both my Mum and Dad, recognition should be given to the contribution of key family members; one of them being you, so thank you! Happy 70th Birthday! Here’s to many more! Elesha, Omar, Reis, Malachai and Olivia xxx
A well loved and much respected member of the family was Ena Moore and her vibrancy, kindness and unbeatable baking skills are still sorely missed. Mother to Delroy, Robert and Elesha, Aunty Ena was wife to Chris and daughter of Anita and Frederick Downie.
