September 13th, 1991, a special day when I delivered a healthy baby boy, my baby.
I love this picture because of the way he is embracing us with his strong, long arms. So warm!
Tonight we would gather together as a family and just celebrate for him, since he's not here.
I made a chocolate, buttermilk, zucchini, cake which is so moist and delicious. I look forward to digging into this!
We decided to meet at 7:00 pm at the house and when all the gang arrived we got a photo on the stairway. Oftentimes in the early years after Porter passed away I would picture him at the top of the stairs where Jordan is sitting just watching me work in the kitchen, and conversing with me because that's what he would do. I thought a photo of us all on the stairs would be appropriate.
Jordan is dating a cute little gal named Katelyn and she was so worried about hanging out with us for this family event but I was very happy she did. Her mom insisted on her bringing us balloons and flowers! How sweet of both of them.
Cooper is also dating a very lovely girl named Kari. We are anxious and hopeful that marriage will happen soon for them.
We headed off to Wallaby's BBQ for a yummy meal together. Porter loved to eat, although he was as skinny as a rail it sure didn't show. We ate plenty for him tonight!
HAPPY, HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY PORTER!
We love you sweetheart!!!

Thank you for sharing this moment with us Susette. I know we are all getting to know Porter a little bit more through you.
I love your pictures and your update. I can't imagine how hard each of those birthdays must be. You continue to be an inspiration.
I loved reading this. There isn't a year that goes by that I don't think of Porter on his birthday. I bet he is celebrating right alongside you all.
