How do you put into words how you feel when your child is baptized? I don't know. There are no words for that feeling...... I was overwhelmed with emotions not only was my oldest son being baptized but Trev and I attended the temple that morning to have my parents sealed together YIPPEY!!!I know these days are special for everyone in their own little ways but, really, this was one of those days that had the perfect combination of EVERYTHING......the spirit was incredible and the love and support was tremendous. Daegan and Trev looked so handsome all dressed in white. There is nothing comparable to seeing your own child baptized and choosing to follow the Savior. I know that Daegan has a great purpose on this earth and we are so blessed that he is part of our family. The spirit was so strong as Trev confirmed Daegan surrounded by good men whom we love and are all such great examples to our family and how awesome is it that he got to share this special day with his sweet cousin Addie. Hopefully, the warm feeling and memories of this day will stay with Daegan as he continues his journey back to our loving Heavenly Father. I love Daegan with all my heart I am humbled and grateful for the trust that has been given to me and for the opportunity that I have to be his mom! ( I can't believe I have an 8 year old)That night just Daegan and I were in the car and I said so how did you feel after you were baptized. He said "oh when I came out of the water" and I said "yeah". I looked in the mirror and by the look on his face I knew he was going to say something great.His response................................................................ UH... WET!!!! with the biggest smile on his face. We were both laughing so hard. He knew I was expecting something a little more on the spiritual side. I said "Daegan" and he said "well I did" I will never forget this day or that moment.
Thanks to all those who were able to be there and make his day so GR8T!!!!!
