One day in the future you may find this and wonder. What happened that day? What was going through our minds? You may ask and some may remember bits and peices of this day and it all will be true. For everyone will have seen this special day in a different light and state of mind then each other. On this day you were so pretty all dressed up in that white lace dress. All ready to be baptised before the entire world. But you were not very happy. You were passed from one person to another who tried to play with you and keep you smiling so pictures could be taken. You didn’t see it that way.. You wanted to cry and be fussy and let the world know you were there. Everyone there loved you and wanted to see this ceremony happen for you. We all want what is best for you and though we don’t always show it we all do love you. We may disagree on things that happen but it’s just our way of showing that we know your alive and want to be a prominant figure in your life and help you to grow up into a wonderful person we know you will be. I want to say that the ceremony was beautiful and you were the star sometimes happy sometimes sad but there you were in all your splender shining brightly and rosy cheeked for all to see. Nobody minded that you were fussy for that’s just who you are. nobody minded because today was a day that was devoted to you. Even though I don’t believe in the cerimony it does hold some truth’s.. I didn’t consider it a baptism but more of a pledge to help you find who you are and teach you your strengths. A promise that each and every person there that loves you would be there to guide, protect and help you through out your life. This vow from us to you is sacred no matter what religion one believes in. For in this, We promise to dedicate ourselves to nurturing you and to teach you all the good things in life. I will do my best to teach you that patents is a good thing that sitting down and watching things grow around you is a maricle in of itself. Others, I am sure will teach you religeon and things to believe in when your life brings you sorrow. I promise to try to bring out the beauty of this world to you and show you that there are gifts in life if you know where to look. Gifts like sitting against a tree and a bird would land on a branch not too far away and start to serinade you with his song. The song would be a wonderful gift for you were there to hear it. The bird is singing with all his heart for the love of this world and all things in nature that brings life to our view. This is the gifts in the world I want to show to you and teach you to appreciate that everything in nature is beautiful and has meaning. that life is full of joy and happiness even in the most sorrowful times. Everyone today made a promise to you, to teach you something and be there for you. What others will teach only they can answer. I just want you to know that today I love you and the love I have inside will never go away no matter what you do or say. I will always be here when ever you want or need me. If I don’t teach you anything else I’ll at least taught you this..
Love is all around us no matter where we are.
We can see if we look for it, for it never goes far.
Just move a bit closer and you will find in my heart,
All the warmth joy and love I feel when we’re not apart.
All my love hopes and dreams for my Granddaughter I share
For when you need me, you’ll find that i’ll always be there.
Just close your eye’s and relax, feel the warmth come up inside
Smell the fragerance all around you of roses, spice, and blue sky.
I give this to you to always remember me by.
Love,
Grandma JoJo
