Another Family Blessing

it was my niece's (the infamous "H") blessing service tonight. my family does a bar mitzvah of sorts for our kiddos when they reach a certain age. we design a celebration of who god has made them to be and present various meaningful gifts. some significant blessings are spoken, and we pray for them as they enter adulthood. H's theme was "super heroes". she loves them!! our shared secret is that we (she and i) believe that people really are super heroes if they want to be. anyway, she did so well...and we all bawled!!! *sigh*...i need to rehydrate! :)
