Wiara jest zwierciadłem miłości, miłość natomiast jest potwierdzeniem wiary.

MARIOLA DURZYNSKA NIE ZYJE

Wlasnie przeczytalam te smutna wiadomosc w Super Expresie i nadal nie moge w to uwierzyc. Znalysmy sie z Mariola przez kilka lat wylacznie z anteny Radia 910, ale przez ten czas zdazyla zaimponowac mi cieplem, profesjonalizmem i oddaniem drugiemu czlowiekowi. Zawsze z ochota wspierala promowanie akcji wielu polonijnych organizacji charytatywnych, gotowa by sluzyc soba, by sluzyc innym swoim glosem. Nie moge uwierzyc, ze juz nigdy wiecej nie bede mogla do niej zadzwonic. Nie moge uwierzyc, ze zaledwie ponad miesiac temu rozmawialam o niej z Wojtkiem Maslanka na spotkaniu w Kurierze Plus podkreslajac jej zalety znane wszystkim tym, ktorzy mieli szanse z nia choc raz porozmawiac. Zycie jest tak kruche, jest czlowiek i nagle go juz wsrod nas nie ma.
Spoczywaj w pokoju Marylu.

BEING A MOTHER...

BEING A MOTHER...

After 26 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to
take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She
said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves
you and would love to spend some time with you."
* * *
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit
was my MOTHER, who has been alone for 11 years,
but the demands of my work and my children had
made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
* * *
That night I called to invite her to go out for
dinner and a movie.
* * *
"What's wrong, aren't you well,' she asked?
* * *
My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a
late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign
of bad news.
* * *
"I thought it would be nice to spend some
time with you," I responded. "Just the two of us."
She said, "I would like that very much."
* * *
That Friday as I drove over to pick
her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived , I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous
about our 'date.' She waited in the door. She had fixed her hair nicely and was wearing the
outfit that she had worn to celebrate her last
birthday.
* * *
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an
angel's. Mom said: "I told my friends that I was going to go
out with my son, and they were impressed," she said,
as she got into my vehicle. "They can't wait to hear about our date."
* * *
We went to a restaurant that, although not
elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my
arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat
down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only
read large print. Half way through the entries, I
lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at
me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It was I
who used to have to read the menu when you were
small," she said. I responded, "then it's time that you relax and
let me return the favor."
* * *
During the dinner, we had such a nice conversation- -nothing extraordinary, but catching up
on events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
* * *
As we arrived at her house later, she said,
"I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me
invite you." I agreed.
* * *
"How was your dinner date?"
asked my wife when I got home.
"Very nice; much more than I could have imagined,"
I answered.
* * *
A few days later, my mother died of a massive
heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't
have a chance to do anything for her.
* * *
Some time later, I received an envelope with a
copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place
mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I
paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I
could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two
plates - one for you and the other for your wife.
You will never know what that night meant for me.
I love you, son."
* * *
At that moment, I understood the importance of
saying in time: "I LOVE YOU" and to give our loved
ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is
more important than your family. Give them the time
they deserve, because these things cannot be put off
till 'some other time.'
* * *
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back
to normal after you've had a baby....somebody
doesn't know that once you're a mother,
'normal' is history.
* * *
Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by
instinct...somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.
* * *
Somebody said being a mother is boring....
somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.
Somebody said if you're a'good' mother,
your child will 'turn out good'....
somebody thinks a child comes with
directions and a guarantee.
* * *
Somebody said you don't need an education to be a
mother...somebody never helped a fourth grader
with their math.
* * *
Somebody said you can't love the second child as
much as you love the first...somebody doesn't
have more than one child.
* * *
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother
is labor and delivery...
somebody never watched her 'baby' go to their
first day of school...
or head off to university, or move away from home.
* * *
Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her
child gets married...somebody doesn't know that
marriage adds a new son or daughter-in- law to a
mother's heartstrings.
* * *
Somebody said a mother's job is done when
her last child leaves home...

somebody never had grandchildren.
* * *
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so
you don't need to tell her...
somebody isn't a mother.

This message should be passed along to all the 'mothers' in your life
and to everyone who ever had a mother. This isn't
just about being a mother; it's about appreciating
all the people in your life while you have them...no
matter who that person is.

THE POWER OF WOMAN - WHY I LOVE MOM

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, 'I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed'.
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches.Rinsed out the popcorn bowls,took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugarcontainer, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer , ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer.She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.

She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk, wrote a note to the teacher,counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair

She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.

Mom then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturiz er, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails..
Dad called out, 'I thought you were going to bed...'
'I'm on my way,' she said
She put some water into the dog's dishthen made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.
She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV's , hung up a shirt,threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework. In her own room, she set the alarm ; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. 'I'm going to bed.

And he did. without another thoughT.

Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...?
Cause we are made for the long haul....(and we can't die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)
