"M, you also were five months old, and you too clamored for the water, but in some ways your baptism could not have been more different. It’s often the case that second kids get all the hand-me-downs and afterthoughts, but you had your own actual baptismal gown, a simple cotton garment with smocking, and matching shoes provided by your Grammy. Her gift and presence were a way of having your Grandpa here."

from MaryAnn's letter to Caroline and Margaret about their baptisms.........my heart is full
