shes an angel! and it was a heavenly day! The love and support that came on Kate’s special day was tangible and caused my heart to burst with gratitude. My parents and sisters family drove from California to be here. Kayli and Alex drove 12 hours through the night to get here in time. My cousin and his wife who are from Ohio had planned a surprise I will never forget They snuck in the back a little bit after the baptism started. I noticed them and walked to the back quietly. With tears of joy I hugged them both tight and said “thank you.” It seemed the whole Day was full of miracles and surprises as evidence of God’s love. My β€is full.
While Jeremy stood in the font with our youngest child, the last to be baptized , he couldn’t speak. As He was overcome with the spirit and having a sacred moment, I thought he forgot words and whispered at him “her name was Kate”. he looked at me laughed and said “I know.” So while I killed the moment for him, Kate was having a moment of her own. she told me she felt like God was standing right beside her, like he was there with her. After getting dressed and coming back into the room Jeremy just held me. I apologized and he didn’t mind at all. He just said “I love you “. We stood there holding each other for awhile as we embraced the moment when eternity rejoiced and time stood still as we crossed another milestone in our family.
