The following is an updated version of a collumn that I published last year. It is a tribute to my little sister Mary Elizabeth, who would have turned nine next Wednesday.
Hail Mary …
I am the oldest of nine kids: three boys and six girls. If you were to look at any McMorris family photo album, however, you would notice that there are only eight children standing beside my mother and father.
Full of grace …
You will not find my little sister Mary Elizabeth sitting on my father’s knee or learning to take her first steps. There is only one photograph of my baby sister; it shows a beautiful eight pound baby girl in a peaceful sleep. That picture was taken on the 5th of December 1998 when my family was blessed with our sixth child.
The Lord is with thee …
