I was only 17. She gave me the party at the church. It was such a strange event to look back on now. Most of the women were older women from church and they wanted to wish me all the best but there was death hiding in the corner and Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-38139488128799744082013-04-08T21:57:42.490-04:002013-04-08T21:57:42.490-04:00I love that sense of community.

With marriages happening later and people living together and establishing careers first, it doesn't seem as necessary. Now, baby showers...take it from the mom of a four year old. I couldn't have made it without that shower.

In a way, a shower seems silly. She and my son have been lving together for 4 years. The two of them have high paying jobs. If they want something, they buy it. It used to be a shower was to give the bride-to-be gifts for her new home or clothing she might need now that she's leaving her family.

Showers of any kind are a tradition in our family and I predict we'll never tire of giving them. :)Loraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642869592750484556noreply@blogger.com
