Chapter 21

Stand by Me (Jackson)

My parents found peace in Rome. Before that they had travelled the world: Neath (Wales), Kyushu (Japan), London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, and finally Gillingham, (Kent). The picture above reminds me that they bravely overcame many challenges together. They embraced and lived by the words in these lyrics:

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
(Leiber, Stoller & King)
