I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley...in South Texas. I went to school in a town called La Feria. When there wasn't school my brother and I went to grandma's while mom worked. Grandma lived in the next town...Mercedes. Across the street from grandma's house lived three kids we would play with. They became our friends and we still keep in touch with them.
So one day it was super cold and my mom decided to just take us to grandma's house. We did not attend school that day. As we got to grandma's we figured we would be super bored the whole day just to ourselves. Grandma did not have internet or cable or even AC/heater!
As cold as it was, my brother and I went outside to play. We figured our friends were at school. Every other kid in the Valley had school. We only missed because mom thought it was too cold. lol So as we're walking around grandma's house super bored...I hear a voice "Lady!!!!" Okay she said my real name. I turned and saw my friend calling to me! All three of our friends were at home too! A big grin formed on my face! Lil bro and I were not going to be alone after all! I just remember that memory so well. It was so long ago (about 20 years ago!) but I remember it like just yesterday. I was so happy and all five of us played together the whole day.
I don't know if it's my happiest memory of all. But it's definitely a good one.
Who is a non-family member that made an impact on your life?

A neighbor. A man named Mr. White. He was old guy. Always wore overalls. I was always buying comic books and reading sci-fi, so he says "Come on in here a minute boy" and led me into his house. His living room smelled like old damp paper and cigar smoke and for good reason. Mr. White's walls were covered with books and magazines and periodicals and you name it. Seemed like every inch of available space was covered, and like a puzzle, all my encountered questions with him were answered at once. The guy was always reading a bookry. Everytime I saw him.
So he hands me a older book from Louis L'Amour. It was a cowboy book and I couldn't get enough. I ended up reading all his stuff and then others and then others.
The old man died much later but turns out he left me all those books. They're all stacked in my memory, maybe like his old living room.
Same questions because it was so good....
