I NEVER write diarys… And the ones I have written were barely read BUT I wanted to write this one because an amazing thing took place a short while ago… And I was moved by it and want to officially Mark the event.
as those who frequented the BNR over the last year know… One of our own who we fondly call LDF aka LIEPAR Destins fiancée took and PASSED her citizenship test… what a wonderful day… !!
what this means is that she is celebrating her very first Fourth of July as an official American Citizen. Hurray,, and this should be acknowledged
so this is my way of welcoming her (again) and sharing what is MY favorite fireworks song… It's by Neil Diamond and it holds a special place in the hearts of the people who I grew up with … Not only because we are children of immigrants but because Neil grew up out here where I grew up… He went to The HS my mom went to for all but his senior year when he transferred to the HS I went to. His parents owned a small neighborhood store out here.. Everyone knew them. Heck people older then me knew Neil and when we hear this song it's like hearing OUR song… A song of immigrants who came here looking for freedom and better lives sooooo
LDF from the child of immigrants (me) to YOU.
I hope you are having the happiest of first ever fourth of July’s !!!!!!!!
