Walker’s Baby Blessing

This special milestone is a time to reflect on our hopes and thoughts for our baby. He’s now almost 6 months old. Daddy gets to officially give our son a name and a father’s blessing. The bishop encouraged us to write down our thoughts and feelings to be a source of strength for our son if he were to read them. I’m including mine here:

You were born at this time for a great purpose. I know this because although Daddy and I wanted to wait many years and save up enough money to comfortably have a baby, we were told that you needed to be here now, and that you are special. You have been named after courageous people who always serve and strive to do what is right. We hope you will follow their example and carry their strength with you throughout your life. Know that you come from a long line of honorable ancestors on both sides who are rooting for you. You have been blessed with many gifts, including bringing laughter and joy to our home with your presence. We hope you have health, and that you live a long life and are able to experience the happiness that comes with knowing and loving God. You are so loved, and always will be forever.

Love,
​Mom
