Mother’s Love
Matt ,Kitty Doc, along with Maylee and Sarah..and some of
the town folks… all gathered at the Dodge City Church…. Kitty had brought Mary a beautiful white Lace
dress,.. and also decided to buy something special for Sarah as well.. after
all when Sawyer kidnapped her ..she didn’t have but what she was wearing… all gather outside the church… and entered
together… ahhh, Mary looks so pretty,
Mrs. Bains! Sarah said smiling down at Mary… Yes, Sarah she does … Miss Kitty
you over did with this beautiful Dress…. And Sarah ..your looking quite
Beautiful too. Again smiling ..Thank
You ,.. Miss Kitty took me shopping..I didn’t have … stopping her Maylee said … shhh.. shall we all go in and
sit…?
As they found their seats,… Mrs. English came into the
church along with her husband the Reverend well, Good Morning everyone! Good Morning Reverend ,the group replied.
Everyone, now that we’re all here, take your seats please, Today is a special
day, Today we shall baptize Little Mary Bains! Mrs. Bains Please bring Mary up…
and.. he hesitated… clearing his throat…
The Godparents? Maylee turned to Kitty and Matt… smiling…
Marshal , Miss Kitty… as they walked up to the podium…. Maylee handed Mary
over to Kitty…. The Reverend ,even know
he has his doubts… proceeded with the baptism…after the formalities were
through,.. Maylee looked to Matt and Kitty… Thank You ..Both you you,… then,
proceeded to turn to the rest of the congregation …excuse me folks ..I have
something I’dlike to say to you all…Please?
Matt ,Kitty ..the reverend and his wife..all looked wondering what she
wanted to say?
Taking a deep breath,… I’m Maylee Bains, most of you all
know me… Most of you all know The
Marshal and Miss kitty as well…. When My husband Eli Bains ,and I first came here to Dodge to settle and
start a family .. we thought of Dodge as a growing town of wonderful people..
and I’d like to think we weren’t wrong… Well our plans changed… as most of you
well know Eli died here in Dodge . so our plans change dramically… I had not only
lost My own baby girl at birth , but now Eli too. Then I was blessed…Because of the kindness
and generosity of the Marshal … and YES Miss Kitty … I have a daughter…
Mary! Now, I know a lot of you are
thinking...in light of the events of the past few weeks.. why did I ask ,.. The
Marshal and Miss Kitty to stand here in church for Mary’s baptism… well I’ll
tell you why… taking a deep breath,..
and glancing to Florence English, it
happened that this awful , horrific time
… outlaws wanting revenge on the Marshal,,.. for only the Lord knows what?...
they took Mary and Miss Kitty …and also this young lady sarah... in the
shuffle… but!.. it was the wonderful and Caring Woman that Miss Kitty is.. that
she did whatever was needed to keep Mary and Sarah, safe… risking her own life
at the hands of these horrid men….to protect both Mary and Sarah with no
thought to her own safety!....Mary’s Birth,.. was a sad event for her young Mother ,but , in
Loving her enough to give her over to another to see her daughter had a better
life … a good life… Miss Kitty became Mary’s Mother if only for a short time…
and in her Great heartwarming Love for Mary … brought her to me…which filled
the emptiness in my heart and soul,… and I will forever be thankful and most greatful
to both Mary’s natural Mother and Miss Kitty for stepping in when the Marshal
brought Mary to her… and with the events that took place,… I feel that the Lord
knows.. .it is only a Mother’s Love that we three woman have for Mary,… that
will bond us together forever. Only a Mother’s Love,… brought us all here today
to celebrate Mary’s Life! And I wish to
have ...Mary enjoy the love of everyone … to be sure she has a wonderful
Life! She then turned to kitty ..Hugged
her ,then Matt thanking them for standing there in church ..agreeing to be
Mary’s godparents!
