Closing

After everything I have been through it feels so weird to be free. At first when I came to Canada I hid my face in fear of being found. When Julilly reminded me we are FREE now there is no need to hide. Going and seeing Lester gave me so much more profound hope that we are able to finally live without slavery. However we will still need to work hard to survive but this time is different, we will be working for money and ourselves not doing someone else's work. Everything is different in Canada now I have Mammy Sally who is unofficially my mom, I have Julilly who is like an unofficial sister and Lester who is like a unofficial big brother. It is so nice to have a family after all these years of being alone. I get to go to school now and learn how to read and write. We may not go to the same school as the white people and may not get the best books but at least I am getting an opportunity to learn that i never would have even dreamed of doing a few months ago.
