In late summer when I was a kid, my dad used to take me on a piggyback ride on his shoulders where we lived in Ikaho, Japan. My dad was a captain in the army overseas. He taught me how to ride a bike when I was a kid. When I got bigger, I could ride a bike and pedal for a long time. When I grew older, my dad and I would go bowling with friends at the bowling alley in Bangkok, Thailand, where we lived in Southeast Asia. When we went back to Washington, D.C. I continued playing at the Sacred Heart Bowling League, where I attended church. I have 24 trophies everywhere in my apartment.
I also took driving lessons and passed the road test. I drove my father’s car to practice. I drove it to the bowling alley. My mom came with me and my friend to the car dealer and bought my car. I got it financed from the credit union, and I have been driving it for a long time. I thank god for the Navy Credit Union. And for the hard work they accomplished to help the veterans and their families live in peace.
Schools are closing soon for the summer. The pools opened on May 26, Memorial Day. Parents and children will be playing ball and swimming in the pool, having so much fun. People traveled out of town for the Memorial Day holiday.
Memorial Day weekend, my son and his family grilled hot dogs, chicken, hamburgers, and marshmallows out in their backyard in Maryland. I remember, I used to spend time with he and his friends and cousins, taking them skating, going swimming, and also bowling. We had so much fun. When he got older, he got himself a good job as a security guard. Now he has three kids. He grew up to be an adult, and now I am a granddad, and proud of it.
Happy Father’s Day!
