A special night

Happy Christmas everyone.

 Last night was Christmas Eve,

it turned out to be very special for Middi and me.

For the first time we went to Mass together,

and on our own!

I must admit I was nervous going alone,

would I have any big spasms, 

would Middi sit still, 

what if he panicked and wet himself!

I am so ridiculous sometimes.

When we arrived Rodney was waiting for us, 

he asked me to wait,

as he wanted to introduce us to someone,

it was our new Bishop!

Rodney told him all about Midnight and that his job is to help me.

The Bishop then chatted for a while and gave him a Blessing.

Rodney then walked us down the central aisle to the front of the church and sat us by the crib.

Why do I not have faith in Middi and myself?

The Mass went for two hours,

in that time Middi had to deal with bells, processions, 

children rolling on the floor, 

being offered the Christmas tree decorations,

incense ,and more incense, waved by us, 

all the things that occur in a happy Christmas Mass.

The only time he moved from under the pew was when the baby in the pram near us began to cry,-he sat up,

looked at the baby, then settled again.

After Mass the Bishop spoke to me again and commented on his behaviour, I explained that it was our first time

and now I would be able to come alone,

with Middi to look after me.

After more prayers for Middi, and Blessings for both of us,

we floated home on a cloud.

It was such a special Christmas Eve, 

what Middi has done for me in the 15 months

I have had him, is beyond my wildest dreams.

I love my crazy boy.
