50 years ago an English women from Wales came to America by ship. Her name was Pamala Lloyd. She was in love with a black man she had met while in Paris. She was 21 years old and marrying who she thought was the love of her life. She was disowned from her family and hadn’t gone back to wales since. She came over by boat and arrived in New York. She continued her travel to Chicago to meet her loved one and finally get married. She stayed in Chicago for three years before moving back to Upstate New York. She used the little money she had to buy a house. The house was small, broken down, and had no heat or hot water. One of the challenges she remembers was living in the broken house in the 30 below zero weather. But she didn’t mind any of those things. She loved the little house away from the city. “It had great potential and was very cute” she claimed. When asked what experience  were unique to her, she said ” I think a lot of people went through various types of hell” followed by her telling her story of why she didn’t love her divorced husband. She misses Wales and would love to go back, not for her family, but for herself and to be back where she grew up. Looking back at her decisions, she wished she had not done them.
