Porte Ponderings:

Some days you remember with such clarity as they are imprinted on your heart forever. The day my mother died is one of those days. One moment I was chatting with her on the phone and it seems like the next I was at the Doctor’s for my final pre-natal check and he was telling me my Mother had died. Of course I didn’t believe it. Harold came to pick me up and take me to Dad’s where I had to put on my big girl panties and help with funeral arrangements. Everyday since I’ve remembered my mother’s life. The joy she brought with just her smile. There will always be a small part of me missing.

If I die tomorrow,
I’ve accomplished everything
I wanted to do in life.

Porte Ponderings:

If I die tomorrow may I be like Don Johnson and say I’ve accomplished everything I wanted to do in life.

If I live tomorrow may I be like Detective Columbo and say: Just one more thing…………
