MY SPECIAL PERSON
My special person is
my husband, Oswaldo.
I have known my
husband for 20 years. I
met him at work when
I was 17 years old in
Caracas, Venezuela. He
was a travel agent and I
worked very close to his
agency. I was working
in a travel agency too
and we started dating in
1998. I fell in love on
our first date and the
same year, he married
me. I was 18 years old
and I have been so
happy ever since.
He is an important
person in my life. He
is shy but with me he
is outgoing. He always
26
makes me laugh a lot.
He is sensitive and strong
at the same time. He is
the smartest person that
I have ever met in my
life. Currently, he works
in construction but
right now he is off. His
hobbies are watching
TV (mostly sports like
baseball, golf, and
soccer), travel, and
reading the newspaper.
I like it when he helps
me in the kitchen or
cleans the house. We
have lots of fun. He
calls me every day to
find out how I am. He is
always very special with
me and our children.
He always reads a story
to our daughter before
she goes to sleep.
Sometimes, he picks
her up at school and
tells her funny things or
they sing together.
With our son, he likes
playing basketball and
dominos. Before we
moved to this country,
they used to play in
domino and basketball
competitions. Finally,
he is the best father that
I could have found for
my children.
