What a day!


Kimberly made her first communion today and it was a very special day all around!
Although the priest had a mild heart attack in the middle of the ceremony.
Yes you heard me correctly.
Right when he started his homily, he got dizzy.
He sat down and the next thing you know the paramedics were called.
There was a doctor in the church, some off duty paramedics, and a nurse (my cousin) that all helped as much as they could.
They did have to shock him which in turn scared the children.
But he was doing better as they wheeled him off to the hospital.
The alternate priest showed up and finished the mass.
We had a beautiful day (weather wise) and got to spend alot of time outside!
She told me on the ride home that she feels different now being able to receive communion. I said, "Older?" She said, "No mom, just different!"
We are so proud of her and she looked absolutely beautiful!
We are saying our prayers for Father Ron in hopes for a full and speedy recovery!


A big thank you goes out to my friend Wendy who made the beautiful cake!!!
She does an awesome job in the decorating and it tastes delicious!!


Enjoy
