A Christmas Carol – Porter Style Finale
“I wish I was bigger so I could reach up to hang the ornaments higher. My Mommy hangs a few higher up so the tree doesn’t look dumb.”
I put my arm around my new little friend and tell her that the tree is special because she adds her own personal touch to it, and that each year as she gets bigger she will be able to reach just a little bit higher and one day she will be able to reach the top of the tree all by herself.
Her face lights up with a huge smile. “You think so Bette?”
“Yes, I absolutely do. Just think, each year as you get a little taller, the tree will start to have the decorations hung on it a little higher. It will be fun to see how many years it takes until you are able to reach the top.”
Tina has made her way from the kitchen and has been listening to my conversation with her daughter.
“There you two are. I wondered where you had gotten off to. Angie it’s almost time for dinner. Go wash your hands please.”
“Awwww but Mom…..”
“Angelica….now please.”
Reluctantly Angie makes her way out of the room and down the hallway.
I stand as I watch the interaction between them. It is priceless.
“She’s quite remarkable.” I state.
“Thank you. She’s my whole world. It’s not always easy, but we get by….just the two of us.”
I want to ask about Angie’s Dad, but I know better and keep that question to my self.
Just then the doorbell rings and Tina makes her way over to answer it. The rest of her dinner guests have now arrived.
She walks back into the room where I am with her guests following behind. Introductions are made all around then Tina announces to the crowd “Well, dinner is just about ready. I hope you are all hungry.”
“Famished.”
“It smells wonderful.”
“Can I help you with anything?”
Are just some of the responses that she receives. She gratefully accepts some of the offers and my assigned task is to open the wine.
I respond “now that is a task that I can handle” which brings about a laugh from everyone in the room. Tina heads back in the direction of the kitchen and I follow closely behind.
