I am Isabella's paternal grandmother, and I missed this ceremony. It was such a joy to hear Isabella's voice and hear how she has navigated her adolescence. Most especially, of course, how she was touched by the presence of God that night in the field of fireflies. I pray for all my grandchildren, and I am blest that Isabella is one of them.
