One of my most treasured memories is going to Cosmo’s on the beach in Negril every Sunday after church. My mom would drive from our home in Little London to Cosmo’s through the Westmoreland countryside for about half an hour.

I’d let my hand hang out of the passenger window trying to catch the warm Caribbean breeze as it forcefully pushed back at the palm of my right hand.

Once we reached the beach, I’d head straight into the turquoise blue water. I’d stay in the water all day & only come out on one occasion: to eat my curried lobster with white rice and salad. My mom would lounge on the beach while reading or talking to friends & family if we were with others.

We’d stay at the beach all day and head home in the evening right in time for Sunday dinner with auntie Lonely or just the two of us at home. Sunday’s were the best; it combined two of the greatest loves of my life: 7 mile beach & food!
