I've said it before but I think it bares repeating... sometimes the most influential people come into our lives at a just the right moment to make an impression that lasts forever. Now I'm not one to claim divine intervention but I do believe that things happen when they are supposed to and for reasons that we are often unaware of. My surrogate mom Ann was one such person to me. With the loss of almost my entire family she and her family have become my extended family. I've been blessed because I got to choose my family...something people don't get to do!
So it was with a humble heart and great pride that I accepted the appointment of God Mother in the life of little Myles Edward. Having recently chose God parents for our own little girl I know the thought, emotion, and care that goes into selecting the people you are appointing to be the spiritual guides of your child so I was and continue to be honored by their choice in me.
I hope that in raising my own child I can in turn prove to be a worthy guide for this beautiful little man. If nothing else I will always be in his life and will be there to listen to him and guide him whenever he needs. My Godparents were a wonderful addition and guiding light in my life - my Godfather continues to be even to this day.
Fortunately I had our "family photographer" aka Daddy/Michael there to capture all the special moments...here's a little teaser from Myles big day, these and the others will be loaded to Kodack and shared with everyone...patience is a virtue people!
A Beautiful Church...
Moving Words...
Excited Parents and God Parents...
Blessed by the Father, the Son & The Holy Spirit...
Myles and Grandpa Gardner lock eyes in understanding...
Myles and Abbey have a little heart to heart moment
