We failed.Someone slept through her own party, cake and all.Her baptismal candle β€” we'll light it every year on this day.

Our girl. You slept through the sermon and woke up for the singing, which tells us everything we need to know about you. We love you more than we knew was possible.

When your mum asked us to be your godparents, Tom cried in the middle of a Nando's. We promise to sneak you sweets, teach you terrible jokes, and show up for every single chapter of your story. Deal?

In thirty-one years of baptisms, Wren is the first child to try to splash me back. A joyful soul, right from the start. Welcome to the family of faith, little one.

The same gown, seventy-two years later. I held your mother at that font, and today I held you, little bird. God has been so good to us. All my love always, Grandma June
