Celebrating Daniel

On Saturday, April 22, 2023, my sweet godson Daniel Joseph celebrated his First Communion! 

I was not able to be at Daniel's baptism in 2014, so this was the first time I was present for one of his sacraments. 

My heart bursted with joy for my godson on his special day! 

It was a perfect day celebrating the Eucharist with family and friends! 

I am honored to be Daniel's godmother.

I am proud of the young man he is.

I am thankful for his beautiful family!

Daniel has a kind heart and I have no doubt God will do good things through him. 

Daniel enjoys playing baseball and likes hockey. He is also awesome at badminton! 

On our drive over to the First Communion we stopped at a gas station. 

I didn't see the curb walking into the gas station store and so I fell to the ground. 

I fell in slow motion hitting my left eye/cheek bone and skinned my right knee. 

I was embarrassed about falling and worried about being bruised for First Communion photos.

I could have easily broken a bone but like I said, I fell in slow motion as if someone was protecting me.

My dad saw me fall gracefully and said he thought it was an angel. 

No bruises, just a sore bone and knee. 

Angels protected me in that moment.   

Daniel's favorite saint is St. Michael the Archangel. 

I am asking St. Michael and all the angles to protect and guide you, Daniel Joseph. 

Fear not, beloved, you are safe; take courage and be strong. Daniel 10:19
