Ziggy Marley’s Reminiscence
On what would have been the Jamaican superstar’s 73rd birthday, son Ziggy Marley remembered his father by posting a family picture.
The family picture was taken back in 1979, on the birthday of Bob Marley himself. The photo also captured images of Ziggy’s siblings Stephen Marley and Sharon Marley.
“Daddy and I along with little brother @stephenmarley in cap, big sister sharon @culturecorners and other family and friends celebrate his birthday in 1979. I remember this day, i had just come from playing a football game for my school here i pour a drink for him during the celebration. Bob wasnt really big into birthday parties for himself but this was one time he couldnt escape Mommy and the other women made sure of that. it was fun!”
The picture and caption of the picture are both mesmerizing and touching. The picture showed the close bond they shared as a family and how they liked to share their most precious moments in life.
Referring to the caption, Bob didn’t like birthday parties, but the women in the family loved him. Even if they knew he wasn’t really into it, they made him try and enjoy little moments anyway!
