Do the Write Thing

When My First Son Was Born

 

Elsa Sanchez

 

My special day that I remember is when my first son was born. My doctor was bringing my little boy and putting him next to me in my bed. It was unbelievable. God blessed my home with a special gift.

In my country at that time nobody was present only the doctor and the mother. He was born at 5:30 pm. The time for visiting was 6:30pm to 8pm. My sister was twelve years old and talked to my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law.

It was a special day for me because my mother is not lovely with us and I got married because my mother said, "this is your husband". So my son was my big love. My life was all the time about my children and I never worked outside the house. I always worked in my house. I made clothes for ladies, girls and boys. Later I had a beauty salon and a little bakery. I made cakes for birthdays and special days - teachers' day, student's day, mother's day, father's day. I was so happy always working with my children in my house.
