Since my dad came for Christmas and it was the only time that we’d have and sort of family here for who knows how long, Joel asked the Bishop if we could do a baby blessing at home on Christmas. The Bishop left his family for a few minutes for us. It was really low key – Sam was just in his p.j.’s. But it was special.
Afterwards my dad was teary saying that he felt his dad strongly. (His name is also Robert.) He said the things that Sam was blessed with were all characteristics of my Grandpa – to want to do and be good, to be quick with a kind word, and other things too. Though I have never met him, I do feel a connection with my Grandpa. My dad says that he was a lot like Joel – a good man and able to do absolutely anything with his hands. Sam and Grandpa must of had a relationship before Sam Bob made his journey here.
Welcome to the family Samuel – we are so happy you are here!
