Ledger's Blessing Day

Ledger was blessed on August 7th. Patrick gave a beautiful blessing, I was so proud of him. I got emotional as I watched Patrick, Great Grandpas, Grandpas, and uncles surround Ledger. Its so neat to see your child surrounded by so many family members who love them. I couldn't help but think about the last time I felt that way - when Preslee's uncles carried her casket out of the same chapel. It was a sight and feeling I'll never forget. I could feel their love for Preslee, and there was a similar feeling last Sunday. We've been blessed with an incredible amount of family support. Thank you to those who came to support little Ledger, we love you.


I felt bad all the pictures we have Ledger is crying in them! Oh well, he was a champ during the blessing and didn't make a peep!

    Baby blessings are so special and sacred. I'm thankful for the Priesthood and for the blessing it is to have that ordinance for our infants. I have cried at both my boys blessings, I'm so thankful they have the gospel. I always love reading your honest thoughts and sentiments. Thanks for sharing your families pics to show everyone how special baby blessings are. You are so blessed to have so many wonderful family members to always sustain you and support you. I have that same grey cardigan! I love it! You look so beautiful. -jen noble

    What a darling little guy, congrats on the blessing day, such a special day for the family.

    Reading your post below I find a lot of similarities in how I feel with my new baby after my son's death...it is hard and definitely bittersweet. He has definitely healed apart of me that I never thought would heal BUT at the same time reminders of what I have lost :( I hate that he wont know his brother and will only be able to "know" him through videos/pictures and visiting his grace. It is such a hard thing to deal with and unless people have been there...no one understands. People except me to just be "happy" now.

    Ashley,
    BEAUTIFUL!!! One word to describe it all! Your boy, you, your family, the day...all beautiful! Thank you for your comment on my last blog. You don't know how much that meant to me! It was like getting a post from a favorite celebrity I was so excited! You are a true inspiration to me in many ways. I LOVE reading your blog because you are so honest, humble, and just real! You talk about the hard stuff and it's people like me that need to know I'm not the only one who cries and hurts. I know you do to. I am so excited and happy for you to have Ledger and feel that again. When you talked about seeing the light in Pat's eyes again...I could totally understand that. I think the light is still gone in both Zach and I's right now but I long for that day when I see it in his again. Thank you...for being you! I know that you hear this a lot but I admire and look up to you so much!
    Love,
    Tessie Friedli

    Love the new header too. And priesthood blessings are so wonderful. To feel the spirit of the Lord working through the fathers as they give babies blessings of love and comfort.

    The pictures from our daughters blessing day are the same! All crying, or me holding the pacifier in her mouth. lol But just as Ledger, she was amazingly quiet during her blessing. I think she was listening intently to her Grandpa. =)

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
