Today was the final Confirmation Sunday for our family. Thomas was officially confirmed in the Lutheran Church today. As the third child with his Confirmation squeezed between his D.C. trip and his brother's graduation, we didn't necessarily make as big a deal about it as the others. Thomas's Godfather and wife came to church, and Thomas asked that they join Andrew and myself to stand at the altar with him. My best friend, her husband and daughter also joined us at church but couldn't stay afterwards. My mom, grandmothers, sister and aunt joined us at the house for lunch. No one stayed long, and that was okay as well.
It was a special morning with five other students, and they are five fine young people. There was one in particular that made us all emotional as Mary has suffered a great deal of health problems since she was a baby. Seeing her participate, and her mother give her a kiss as she was assisted made me extremely emotional. I am so grateful to be able to parent these kiddos, and for all the blessings we receive from them!
