Born on: 7th August 1876Porte Ponderings:
Today is my sister Shelley’s birthday. On the day she was born I was at the hospital waiting for my mother to pick me up after I had a tonsillectomy. Instead my mother was busy having this little sister of mine. My mother didn’t come. My father picked me up and took me to my Aunt Betty’s for a week. A summer holiday with my favorite Aunt and cousins. What could be better for a 7 year old? And my sister has been giving me unexpected joy ever since.
