Kate's Confirmation, Part 1

I always knew I wanted children.

When I was young,

I wanted 100 of them.

I knew I wanted to be a teacher 

and I knew I wanted to be a mommy.

Even though these were childhood dreams,

I still had them through high school 

and college.

Fortunately for me,

I was able to fulfill them both.

In 1995, when I was midway through my 20's,

I bore my first born.

A squalling, lovely, perfect daughter..

my Kate.

A pistol to be sure,

she is also a confident, determined,

intelligent and strong young lady.

A little over a week ago,

she completed a nine month process

to undergo Confirmation into the Methodist church.

She looked beautiful, inside and out.

Thanks be to God, 

for this blessing He has given me!
