Blessing DiMaggio


On Sunday, July 5th we blessed DiMaggio. It was a wonderful weekend, as my mom and all of my brothers came into town to share our wonderful day. It meant a lot to me to see my husband and 3 brothers walk to the front of the church, knowing that they are all worthy priesthood holders, and bless my new son. It has been 6 years since my dad died, but his legacy was so wonderfully felt by every one in the room. He raised my brothers to love the church and have strong testimonies, and he loved Mark, and knew he was a great man. It is sad to think of all of the things my dad has missed, but I really feel that he was there with us that day. Mark gave DiMaggio a wonderful blessing, blessing him with a hunger for knowledge, a love of life, to be honorable, and many other wonderful things. It was a really great day! Thanks to all of my family for making the trip!

I love this pic of your little man. Everytime I have a new baby I always think about how thin the veil is for them when they are so new into this world. I wonder about what things their little souls could share if they could just talk to me. I wonder about my grandparents there with them. But I'd say that Tony has already had many hours of playing with his grandkids up in heaven. Just watching them until they were ready to come to you. I love you lots.
