Baptism

On Saturday, April 10 we had Bentley Baptized. It was a beautiful ceremony and we just love our priest Fr. Tom. He prayed for us and with us once we learned of Bentley and he was so excited for us once he knew we were home with him. He started by saying that the story of our child is one he will never forget! And now, his Baptism is something I will never forget. The love Fr. Tom poured into the words and prayers are hard to capture and recreate.

One thing that stayed with me was when he said to me, Marilyn the greatest gift you can give Bentley is the love you have for Cullen, his dad and Cullen the greatest gift you can give to Bentley is the love you have for Marilyn, his mom. So true, so important to remember. The other memorable piece was the prayer for the mother and the prayer for the father, what a beautiful prayer and it felt so good to hear someone call me a mother...me a mother...something I have waited many years to be. Something I don't take for granted and something that I am at peace with! A beautiful day all around!
