Favorite Location
My favorite location is the cemetery in my father’s home town in Puerto Rico. I like this location because it brings me back to my childhood memories. The ocean is on the other side of the cemetery. I enjoy the combination of both. As I arrive and begin to walk up the path I enjoy the smell of the ocean. I stop, close my eyes, take a deep breath, and I take it all in. The beautiful palm trees, the smell of the salt ocean and the sound of the blue ocean waves. I love the sound of the rosters as they sing. I often sit on top of my father stone. As I sit on his stone I begin to reminisce of my childhood with him. I reminisce of his touch on my head. How my last sight of him was my seventh birthday. I still feel his hug from that day. When I sit on his stone I feel as if I am not alone. I can smell his cologne in the air. I often rub his stone and I can feel his touch on my hands.
My favorite location brings me peace and relaxation. The combination of the clear blue ocean sight, the smell of the salt ocean and fruit trees, and the sound of the beautiful waves mixed with the sounds of the rosters that sing makes me feel as I have found another world that is my own. A world of my own where everything makes sense. As I depart from my favorite location I am renewed. I walk back down the path full of love and encouragement. I begin to think how good the year is going to be. With a clear blue sky as my sight I leave with a smile on my face. I leave with a heart full of joy and memories that will last a life time. The combination of the ocean sea and my father’s rest area is the most amazing location to relive
