Uncle Dave told the MyMy to go home and write her feelings down of how she feels before she forgets. I am also going to take that advice to heart.
What a special day for a very special girl. What a special day for some very ordinary parents. Special in the sense that family traveled from afar to come and spend time with us for a wonderful event. Special also, because of special gifts and phone calls sent from family members, from afar, to let us know they were thinking of us. Special because of friends, ward members, and family supporting us with food, video dvd, helping to set up and clean-up after. Special because some wonderful Aunties gave such sweet and personal talks to the MyMy about the ordinance and gift she would receive that day. And, don't forget the special children, cousins and friends, who sang so sweetly and, the special Uncle who shared his piano talents so we would have music to set the tone.
I am so blessed!
The day was also very sweet. Sweet because the MyMy has such a sweet and wonderful father who loves her very much. Sweet because the 2 of them spent some alone time the night before preparing for the ordinance. Sweet because he lovingly talked to her and hugged her before the service to calm her nerves. Sweet because he was fighting back emotion as he spoke. Sweet, because he gave a beautiful prayer so fitting for a special young lady.
Once again, I am so blessed!
Last, but not least, the day was beautiful. Beautiful in the sense that one of our Heavenly Father's choice daughters became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That our Savior prepared the way for all of us. That we all have the opportunity to one day return to the loving arms of our Savior and Heavenly Father.
Beautiful that I get to be a mother to 2 beautiful girls and share special days, like yesterday, with them.
I am thankful for my blessings.
