It was a bright sunny Saturday morning, waking up hearing the birds chirping outside. The sun was shining through the windows throughout the house. I can remember sitting in the living room in a tan recliner facing the Tv. When I heard the phone ring the first time, it was around ten o’clock in the morning; I looked over to see my mom running to the home phone that used to sit on the desk in the laundry room. It rang three times before my mom answered. The second time was around 12:30 in the…

On November 15th 2016, I refrained from being my usual touchy self and examined how my grandparents and twin sister reached. I was not sure if they would notice any difference, but to my surprise, they noticed my change in behavior more than I expected which left me feeling bad. As expressed by Hertenstein, “touch serves many functions and conveys many messages,” specifically touch communicates closeness and warmth between individuals (Knapp, Hall, & Horgan, 2014, p. 231).

She could take a fresh catfish and make a gourmet meal from it. Home made apples pies with a crust that would curl your toes. A three-layered white frosted coconut cake the would melt in your mouth but above all her incredible homemade biscuits with lard all done up in her wood cooking stove.

The year was 1992; I was thirteen years old and a seventh grader in middle school. I grew up in Lawrenceville Georgia with my mother, father, and two sisters. My parents were married twenty-five years at this point in my life. My dad was seventy-seven years old, but he was a young seventy-seven, my mother was forty-four years old.

“BEEP BEEP BEEP”. I raise my hand to shut off the annoyingly loud alarm clock. A few moments go by and I immediately jolt out of bed, almost tripping over my own two feet. July 25th, the day I get to head down to Texas for a month. As I head down my steps I can hear my dad and my Tio talking. I also can smell the eggs, bacon, lengua, and the refried beans being made for breakfast. After brushing my teeth, I grab a plate and pile on the food. As soon as I’m done eating I rush back upstairs to my…

memories of his step-father. “In contrast to the imaginative re-creations of his father, who died before Soto really knew him, the evocations of his stepfather are hauntingly realistic, almost naturalistic. The father is associated with his La-Z-Boy recliner, his Jack Daniels, his racism, and the “pounding of fists that pounded boxes all day.” Soto’s opinion of his stepfather, and his feelings toward his father’s death were his inspiration for his poem collection, Home Course in Religion. In one…
