The best day of my life was my fifth birthday. I woke up and my parents weren’t in the house but I could hear the mower running. I stepped out my front door onto the front porch. Everything smelled of fresh-cut grass. A colorful donkey piñata was sitting on our door mat. I hugged the piñata and made my way around to the back yard. My mother was fixing streamers to our chain link fence and my father pushing the lawn mower. They both looked so happy when they saw me. Mom walked over and picked me up. My father turned off the mower and wrapped his arms around us both. I can’t imagine ever experiencing anything better.
