When you are coming off a long weekend of working overnights, getting little sleep you need a little heavenly help. Luckily today was the All Saints’ Day Mass at Eva’s school. It was also Grandparent’s Day for the First Grade. Eva went as Saint Bernadette of Lourdes. Allison knit her the shawl. The skirt came from my mom, as did the small bottle of holy water from Lourdes. Eva is wearing a Saint Bernadette necklace and has some Saint Bernadette medals sewn into one pocket and a rosary in the other. She had been practicing her lines all week long and she was ready.
The Mass was a very nice one even if I wanted to completely pass out like Andrew did. I didn’t want to miss anything that Eva was doing. she had a few sentences to speak about Saint Bernadette and she did so well. She was the most clear speaker of her class (in my opinion) and got her whole set of lines correct. We were all so proud of her.
After the Mass we went downstairs to the Church Hall for some snacks and Eva showed us a picture that she drew of Saint Bernadette. I love to brag about my daughter, she is just so talented but also compassionate and smart.
