"Day of my baptism" by Patryk Stanisław Dyśko - Carfin - 15 July 2007

It all started the day before when mummy beautifully decorated a special cake for me.	Polish granny was really impressed with the decoration...	...and dad took a great photo too.	The Holy Ghost Fathers have beautiful flowers in front of their house.	Believe it or not but Jakub was also baptised here.
Fr. Andrew welcomed everyone outside the chapel both in English and Polish.	A short nap before the ceremony did me very well.	My grandparents met the parents of my godfather Paweł for the first time...	... and almost immediately became very good friends.	Fr. Andrzej gave a beautiful sermon in two languages.
Everyone blessed me on the forehead...	... and the priest poured really cold water on my head...	... but I was very brave and never cried.	It was so nice to be held in my godmother's arms. I am very fortunate to be her godson.	After the mass we had a reception for the guests. I was told the food was nice but I can't really say as I was not allowed to try it.
Eugen was my official photographer. Justyna and John came all the way from the mountains...	... and brought their gorgeous Ania.	My friend Lewis came with his parents and granny.	Aunties Therese and Kathleen hold me together with Andrew so I feel very safe.	Old uncle Frank always cracks hilarious jokes.
Eilis is really tall, at least from my point of view.	Mary Rosaleen and Thomas.	Big Patrick and Carlina.	While mum held Mairead I had a shot with Theresa.	Miriam and my older brother Stefan.
Joanna and Aidan.	Brian and Joshua.	Joan and my godmother Elain.	Sarah and mum.	My Polish granny and granddad with Jenny, uncle Frank and Cormac.
My grandparents and Paweł's parents had plenty of interesting things to talk about.	Cutting the cake was hard...	...but mum and dad helped me and everyone could get a piece.	I got eventually tired again so I had another nap with Lesley.	After a long but great day my Scottish granny rocked me in her arms.
