Ben's Confirmation

Ben was confirmed on May 7th, two days before his birthday.
He chose my dad as his sponsor; fitting, as Ben's middle name is Nicholas.
The Holy Spirit brings colour into our lives.
Ben chose Francis as his Confirmation name.  I was very touched by this because my younger sister, a Franciscan sister, is his godmother.
Long legs, big feet, teenage boy.
With the happy parents and mother's proprietorial hand.
Again.
I discovered very shortly before the Confirmation celebration that Jacob's suit jacket was quite massive on Ben.  Thus, before and after the mass, Ben wore his running jacket; nothing could have been more appropriate.
