Then and Now


My Mom made this dress for me when my adoption was final and I was able to be sealed to them. She saved it in a ceder chest all these years. I came across it about a year ago when my Dad was going through things. He said I could take it if I wanted it. Really who would not want something like that? I managed to find a Polaroid of me in the dress. I haven't seen any others of me in this dress at all. I imagine there might be more in my parents ten million boxes of pictures. I don't have very much of a memory of the day I was sealed to my parents other then I was dressed in all white and somewhere in the back of my mind I remember playing with my brothers in the temple nursery. It's times like these that I wish my Mom was here to see Madi in the dress and to tell me about what was obviously a very special day. Its that special sacred day that makes it possible for me to see her again someday.

This post was so sweet! I never knew your mom but if she's anything like you- she's pretty amazing.

wow, I love this post! How neat to have these pictures. Just think how Madi will feel when she puts her daughter in it. I have a dress that my mom, myself, sister and now my daughter and two nieces have all been blessed in. It's great to have these links through the generations!
