Violet's Blessing Day













Today was my little Violet's Blessing Day. I am so happy that she was able to be blessed! Wes' father agreed to do the honors. My father was going to bless her, but with his passing that was no longer possible. The day has just been wonderful. I have felt the spirit so strongly and I feel like my father was there during the blessing. I felt as if heaven itself opened up.
Bill blessed her with a strong mind and body. He blessed that she will be able to learn about the gospel and learn much in school. He blessed her that her parents will teach her. He also blessed that she will have mature emotions and mind to help her with the challenges and situations she will go through. He said that many of her failures will become her successes.
It was a very different blessing I thought, but I absolutely loved it. Violet looked absolutely beautiful in her dress and didn't cry at all during church, which was great. I am so proud to be her mom and I will always cherish this special day.

Thank you for letting me hold your precious Violet yesterday. It was very therapeutic, I felt almost as though I was stealing a little love from her. I think your dad was near and it was a wonderful experience. Thanks for sharing your special moment with me. Hugs!
