How did the breadfruit tree travel from Tahiti to the West Indies? How many trees were brought to the West Indies? What year?

This is the story of the mutiny on the "Bounty." It is also the story of Fletcher Christian and Pitcairns Island.

Mother's Day

It has always been a bit awkward being wished a Happy Mother's Day, not being a mother and all. But people's good wishes for the day gave me a different feeling this year. This is my first Mother's Day without my mom. It felt strange not to send her a card and flowers. I wanted to call her and talk to her for hours. I would mostly talk; she would mostly listen.

Mom has gone ahead, and though I don't know what heaven will be like, I hope that she is the first to greet me and that we can pick up our conversation where we left off. Thankfully, we'll have eternity to talk.
