My Dad’s Fifty-Fifth Birthday
On January 26, 2014, the wind was blowing and the sun was shining, but for my dad it was also considered the day of his fifty-fifth birthday. According to most people, turning fifty-five years old is such a memorable day, but for my dad it was a very tremendous and grateful day. The main reason why is because he got to live another year and he also got to spend time with his family and friends. Since his birthday was on a Sunday, the entire family decided that we were going to go to church and thank God for letting our dad live another year. Before he woke up, there were already a humungous amount of presents lying at the end of his bed, and he also got a few phone calls from his family members and friends before we went to church. Because it was my dad’s special day, I decided to pick out his clothes for him. For example he wore a handsome black suit, with a Carolina blue dress shirt, and a black tie. Although my dad likes to listen to R&B music, my mom and I let him listen to some oldies music while we chauffeured him around all day. One of the main songs we listened to was “Take Time to Know Her” by Percy Sledge. Even though my dad’s favorite type of cake is chocolate cake, I decided to make him a delicious vanilla cake with chocolate icing and red writing that said “Happy 55th Birthday Dad.” Later on that day, when we took him to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, we told them that it was his birthday, and they told him to sit on a saddle while they introduced him. Being able to spend time with my dad is the best thing that a young girl could ever ask for. It will always be a memorable day, whenever somebody turns a special age.
