Jennifer Loretta (nee Marcedo) D'Souza is my second eldest sister. She was an important part of my baby and toddler years, helping our Mother look after me. She holds a special place in my heart along with sisters Jacinta Lydia (nee Marcedo) Rao and Judaline Lyn (nee Marcedo) Cantem.
Cheers Jenny! on your 80th Birthday👍🏾
Tons of love ❤️, your baby sister, Jacqui
For context, to be read along with this poem:

This poem highlights the pathology of justifying one's own abhorrent behaviour, because one feels that one has divine backing to be misinformed and cruel.
[It
is futile to expect empathy from those whose idea of righteousness is
re-victimizing the victim]
"The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart." ... St. Jerome

With
perception clouding my vision
I

Though
presented with precision
The

It was
double-dutch to me.
