In my family
every year we celebrate Fiestas Patrias in our house, I mean my parent´s house,
with my sisters we are so much close even since holidays of the last year, and
that celebration was the most special for everyone of us because we organized
it for my father. In 2014 my father was so sick that he was in the “U.C.I.”
three times, and the last lime that he was discharged from the hospital, was
the 17th. So all the family was there waiting for him when he arrived, the
backyard was decorated with garlands, balloons, little flags, etc., and all the
children was playing, everyone enjoyed, littleones and olders too. Pedro, my
brother-in-law, made a delicius barbeques, with my sister Ely we made pasty
(empanadas) and meat brochettes on the grill. My other sister Gladys came with
her kids, and she was the person in charge to do games and every kind of
activities to keep busy to the children (there was 8 kids… yeah, was a lot to
do). I also invited to this barbeque a very good friend of mine, Susana, she
help us to do everything and later she eat like the world was going to end, so
I think that we were OK.
The days
after we spend time all together, and the 22nd my father died, so this was the
first Fiestras Patrias that we spend without him, however our family still
enjoy this holiday all together, from now on, this is not just free time to
spend with some friends or family, is a time to remember the greatest guy I´ll
ever meet, my father.
