2015 Project365 (Day 53)

Fairy godmother

Today was our beautiful daughter’s dedication (basically a bit like a Christening but without all the water and dunking etc.)

The actual formal bit was in the first part of the normal church service and our daughter was welcomed into the church family and the congregation made promises to her and to support and encourage us as a family.

The Little Miss has two wonderful godfathers and two wonderful godmothers, my sister and my cousin Stefi who is pictured here with her. I am so very grateful for all these people who surround us and love us and promise to be with us in our parenting journey.

Of course the day was tinged with sadness (and more than a few tears from both me and my sister) at the thought that Mum wasn’t there with us, especially as The Little Miss has her names as her middle names. In a weird way though when her full name was spoken out it was a little like Mum was there. In speaking out her name we made her right at the centre of the event. Her importance in our lives continues and I miss her so very much.
