About 1 year later (All Saints' Day 2015) I was Confirmed. This is a pic of me and my loved ones who came and supported me at my Confirmation. (I'm going through old pictures today and found this one. When I looked at my blog, I realized that I'd never done a post about my Confirmation. Better late than never!)
Several people that I had invited were sad and/or uncomfortable that I'd left my previous faith tradition, so they didn't attend.
These people are the ones who held me up as I was crumbling back then. I very much appreciate and love them! ♥
Some who meant to be there, but couldn't be:
Josh, Hayley, and Mercedes had attended my Confirmation, but had to leave b/c Mercedes wasn't feeling well. Miah and Teryn couldn't come b/c they were visiting their dad.
Also, Matt stayed home w/ Mike who'd had a seizure earlier in the day and wasn't feeling well.
Rio & Amber, Grover & Karen, Ben & Aiden, Ashton, Steve, Jessica & Ruth, Kimberly, Kristina, Marci, and Sherry were able to get a photo with me in front of those bright red doors. Those doors represented to me that everyone is welcome inside. How I love those red doors!
