This past weekend, we headed down to Southern Utah to attend the sealing of some very special friends of ours (Todd and Elizabeth Benson) who were able to adopt a little girl back in July. Since hearing the news, we have been over the moon with Happiness for them. Todd and Liz have wanted to add another little spirit to their family for so long. There have been many family members and friends who have offered up prayers in their behalf that they might have another little one join their family. Todd and Liz are truly the most wonderful individuals we have ever known and we are so grateful that their prayers (and ours for them) have been answered.
We are grateful for the miracle of adoption and we have become even more grateful and have a better appreciation for it as we have watched Todd and Liz go through the process of adopting. The Benson Family have been such good friends to us over the years and were there for us during a very hard period in our lives. We will forever be grateful to them, their example of love, kindness and true friendship. So when we received Emma's Sealing and Blessing invite, we wouldn't have missed out on being there to support them. We were so honored to be invited to their memorable event.
Mark and I have not ever been to a sealing like this one and it was a very spiritual experience to be their with their family and have the reaffirmation that Families can truly be Forever.
We were also able to go to Emma's Baby Blessing on Sunday Morning. Todd invited Mark to be in the circle and he was honored to be apart of Emma's Blessing.
Many Congratulations to Todd and Liz!! Emma is a very special little girl and is so fortunate to be able to go to such a wonderful couple/family like Todd and Liz and Sydney-we can't think of anyone that is more deserving!!
We love you Benson Family!
(Todd, Liz, Sydney and Emma)
