We are so proud of our little girl Theresa! This past weekend she made her First Holy Communion! With every step of this journey, her joyous heart was so excited for this very special day.
Theresa - we are so proud of you - and love you with all of our hearts! May God Bless you and protect you always.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
Our little girl is named after my patron Saint - St. Theresa of Liseuex (St. Terese in French) - The Little Flower. Saint Theresa was known for being kind, gentle, loving, and believing that the smallest things are the most important in life. Our Theresa is filled with kindness, love and compassion for all people, animals and nature. We couldn't be more proud.
As she prepared for her First Holy Communion - Theresa diligently practiced her prayers - and we assured her she would do great. She did. She continued to practice how to hold her hand when she would walk up to receive Communion.
Joining on this very special day - family & friends - including Carolyn Gracie - Theresa's Godmother and her husband Mike (Who I call Eric - it's his radio name!). I've known Carolyn and Mike OVER 20 years - since we all worked in radio in Los Angeles! WOW! We're blessed to have them in our lives!
Carolyn brought Theresa the sweetest gift. A beautiful wooden gift box with 3 Angels inside. Theresa placed it her room and organized the Angels to watch over her and everyone who walks in her room.
Before we left church - Theresa left a special bouquet of roses for The Blessed Mother. Not only to honor Mary - but also roses are a symbol of St. Theresa.
We can hardly believe how fast our little girl is growing up. She's almost finished with 2nd Grade! I told her daddy - "You know, the next time you'll see her in a white dress like this will be on her wedding day?" - He smiled - and said "I don't want to talk about that!" And with perfect timing Theresa says "Yes daddy, when I marry Jake!" (Jake is a boy from her Preschool that she STILL talks about!!! Daddy isn't too fond of the idea!)
It took some time to get the photos together for this special blog - because as many of you know - I no longer post full face photos of Theresa online. Trust me - if it were safe I'd have non-stop Theresa photos being posted. Unfortunately, in this day and age it's too risky. So my husband and I agreed that we would share side profile photos of this very special day with all of you. I wanted to thank you all for understanding - and many of you are already aware that I only post photos that don't show her full face.
If you'd like to leave Theresa a message - please feel free to do so below. Or visit my Facebook Page - www.facebook.com/jacqueqvc to post a message there (at least I can resond to you on FB - I cannot respond on this blog!)
Blessings,
