My parents returned from a mini holiday, visiting grandma
for the past two weeks, and my mother brought back some old pictures she
found in our house in Mexico. I was
super excited about the mementos because childhood pictures of my siblings
& I are quite rare, somehow mom never thought of capturing her kids in
photographs. In the small stack she
brought back were pictures of me receiving my sacraments and I just had to
share!
My Baptism & Confirmation were celebrated on the same
day, when I was but a babe with chunky arms, as noted in the picture.
During Kindergarten, in my Catholic School, I was chosen as Mother Mary for the Christmas play. I was so shy that on the day of the performance I started to cry during the production and everyone
thought I was acting Mother Mary’s labor pains so I got a lot of praise for it (SMILE). I also remember having a crush on the kid who played Joseph secret I was going to take to my grave!
My Communion was such
a special day! I remember I was a little over six-years-old, I was so excited
about wearing a puffy white dress (even though it doesn’t seem like it in the
picture). My sister and mom prepared me for months for an interview the parish priest administered to see if I was mature enough
to receive the Sacrament. Mom was adamant
that I receive the Sacrament and complete my Catholic Rites of Initiation before
we moved to California.
Joseph is cute isn't he LOL
I am a girl with an old soul, and I have a passion for
vintage and these pictures are my small legacy.
My parents are minimalists, when they got married they didn’t even have
wedding bands (they still don’t wear rings)! I always dreamt of receiving an heirloom that
I could then pass on to the next generation, but judging by my parents distaste
for jewelry - that’s not happening (SMILE).
But it doesn’t matter because now I have pictures!
