Matthew: Start

Matthew: No shellfish
By The Afflicted Yard
19 July 2008

Matthew is an international kind of guy. Although he was born in America on July 15, 2008, both his parents are Jamaican, but his mother is a US resident and his father has a Canadian passport.

His Godmother is Canadian and his Godfather is British.

His cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents are scattered across the Caribbean, North America and Europe.

He came into the world quite unexpectedly although he took nearly ten months to do so. He's sleeping now, in a thing called a 'Boppy'. It makes train noises and makes him smile in his sleep.

He has a great life ahead of him, but all he cares about now is his mothers soft skin.

Matthew...start.
