My Sixth Birthday

Because I was born in February, birthdays in Utah were pretty cold. Well, the year I had my sixth birthday was awesome for me. 
 I was in love with Neil Diamond. I mean, he was my hero. 
 I knew every word to every song, and I could sing them all. I had everyone of his Albums, I had a Mickey Mouse record player, and my mom had a cool stereo and we would jam to his records. My mom loved him too. 
  Neil Diamond came to concert to the Special Events Center in Slat Lake City, Utah! David, as you recall from previous memories of him, gave my mom four free tickets to the concert. One for her and mom was awesome! Instead of taking friends with her, she took us three girls! 
 It was my first concert! How I loved it. I remember singing every song. I knew every word, My sisters and I were in heaven! The special perks to having a Step- Dad that was a D.J. was awesome! We could go to any concerts, many restaurants, movies, plays, etc, for free. 
I loved that I was there. 
As we were there, I saw my birth father. Strange that I would know it was him, but it was. I remember he walking by us, and I said that is my dad. 
 My mom said "Oh, honey, your dad is in Alaska, he is not your dad" I insisted a man with a beard and was really tall was my dad. I had only seen him one time, and sure, I was 2 when I had seen him, but the tall man walking towards us was my dad. I remember my mom watching him as he walked by and running up to him as we was a few years away. She said something to him and he came back and said hi to us. I recall that the next day he came to see me and my sister, and brought me a white winter coat and boots and some clothes. He bought D some clothes, as well as an out fit for Chimra. He told me he would come back and visit  me every week, but he did not. 
 I recall he telling me that he wanted me to come visit him in Alaska in the Summer times, but that never happened either. 
 Anyway, I saw my dad at a Neil Diamond Concert and I loved that Concert.
