MOMENTS OF MY LIFE

I have a plaque hanging over the door leading from the house to our garage. It's not a fancy plaque, but I love the saying. I hung it in this particular spot so I can see it everytime I leave the house.

WE DO NOT REMEMBER DAYS

WE REMEMBER MOMENTS



Of course I remember things that happened on certain days, but not the whole day. But, oh how I remember moments. Some good, some not so good, and some very bad. Here's just a few in no particular order.

I remember vividly the moment my children were born and then later when my grandchildren were born.

I remember the moment I knew George was the one for me.

I remember the moment right after we became husband and wife and we were standing with both boys before our friends and family knowing that the four of us had just become our own little family.

I remember the moment I learned my first child was stillborn.

I remember the moment the car door closed when we were leaving the children at college.

I remember the moment when I stood at my Granny's funeral and realized I would never see her again.

I remember the moment right before my first kiss. I knew it was about to happen and I was so excited.

I remember the moment I watched the first plane hit the Trade Center.

I remember the moment the preacher took me by the arms and slowly placed me under the water for baptism.

I remember the moment I went from liking my stepson to loving him and I knew in that instant that he was my son now.

I remember the moment the principal made the announcement about JFK's assassination.

I remember so many moments every time I was pregnant and loving feeling my little one moving around.

I remember the moment I watched the space shuttle as it exploded.

I remember the moment I received a phone call about a dear friend's suicide.

I remember the very moment I heard the doctor tell me I had breast cancer.

My list could go on and on...so many moments I remember. I want to cherish each precious moment I have.

We are not promised one more moment.
