Matt gave Kaitlyn a beautiful blessing and in it she was blessed that she'll:

• Feel the gratitude we have to have her as part of our family
• Have physical strength and a keen intellect
• Desire to serve and be a blessing to others
• Be a righteous example to those around her
• Be married in the temple and sealed to a worthy young man
• Know she's loved by her parents and sister
  

During the blessing I felt overcome with emotion and sensed that this baby girl is especially valiant and is treasured by her Heavenly Father. I'm sure that all mothers feel the same way, but that doesn't make it any less meaningful to me because Kaitlyn's my baby.
