Dads Blessing Thoughts

Hudson your blessing will be one of the days I will remember for the rest of my life.  Son there is no better feeling than knowing that I was worthy to hold and bless you with the Priesthood.  As I look back on that day, it was wonderful because we were able to have most of our family on mine and your mothers sides there. Your mother and I love our families very much and love when we are able to share such a wonderful experience with them.  We were also lucky, with Christmas being in two days, to have a lot of our friends there to support you also.  There is nothing more important, Hudson, than having good friends and a wonderful family. You remember that.  As I look back and think about the blessing I know that our Heavenly Father helped me to say what I needed to say. With you in my arms and spiritual men around me, the spirit was very strong. To be completely honest, I was nervous and sweating pretty bad ha. Giving your first blessing isn't the easiest thing in the world. You are afraid you will forget how to start it or say something weird in the blessing or have some issue.  Luckily for me I was able to get through the blessing with no hiccups.  I remember having a hard time keeping from crying during the blessing because of how much I loved you and knowing what this blessing meant for you.  Then seeing your smiling face after the blessing ended was just so awesome.  I love your happy personality and what you do for your mom and I everyday.  Your baby blessing is just one step of many that we will be able to experience together and I am very excited for the future.

Love, Dad
