Looking for I

I have always been a troublemaker. It wasn't deliberate. It was more a reaction, a natural reaction, to injustice and lack of opportunity. Growing up as a young woman in an environment of men, I lacked the mother role model once I hit fourteen, as she died in a quick moment in a London Middlesex Hospital, after a brain aneurysm. The only person with her was my father, but I was asleep when she died, tucked up in my own bed, oblivious as to the impending change coming to my family's life, as were my siblings; two older brothers and an older sister.
