Holidays 

I met my sweetheart for the first time in February. It was Valentine’s Day. At the time, I was in school. That Valentine’s Day was one of the best holidays of my life because it was when I met my girlfriend, and she was so beautiful. She would always come over to my house, and we would always kiss. 

Her name was Pat, and she lived around the corner from us, and I went to her place all the time. Then I started to live with her. Later, I met my son’s mother, Yolanda, and we were together for a year, before I went away for 30 years. 

Another holiday I used to like was Easter. When I was young, we all would go down to my grandfather’s house for Easter egg hunts.. I loved to dress up and look so nice for that day. Then, we would have an Easter dinner that was very nice. 

Another holiday I liked was Father’s Day because I am a father. It felt good to be a father. I would tell my own father “Happy Father’s Day” and he would be so happy because he was my stepfather. We would go out for dinner, and I would always drink a beer with him. 

Another holiday for me is July 11, 1966 because that is my birthday when I was born. That is the best day of the year for me.
