Lachlans-first-communion.jpgI posted the following on another chat forum here in Australia but I want to share it with you too.


My eldest grandson did is first communion last Sunday in the catholic church. I asked my daughter if he had a bible and she said he didn't but  he wanted one.

Most of you would be aware that I lost my Mum 12 months ago and she was very much into her church.  I searched through some of her things and found her bible, which I gave to Lachlan. I explained to him that it was very special and that Nana Jess used it a lot and she would love him to have it.

Today I had a visit from Lachlan and he had a letter in his hand, it was a letter for my Mum. Kerryn explained that Nana wasn't here anymore but he said Nana could read it in heaven.

The envelope had these words on it

you were the best nana in the world and to me it is fact.

The letter was as follows;

Dear Nana Jess,

I miss you and I want you to come back. Just so you know I have made my first communion. I have wanted to make you this card for ages and now I have the time to write to you lots of cards and I will take lots of care with your good will bible.
I love you,
from Lachlan.

Lachlan is 9 and I really hope that this young boy continues to show the kindness he shows now, for the rest of his life.

I love him so much just like the other 6 grandchildren..

How lovely and funny enough my cousin's daughter Olivia had her first communion on Sunday. My daughter was given a white leather bound bible when she left junior school, although we are'nt very religious its very special to her. It just shows its who from and how its given. A proud nana!

Denis, that´s sooo sweet and caring of him; a real touching story.
Lachlan looks bright and warm hearted, I guess he´s strong enough not to be spoiled to become the opposite :)
