Facts you never knew about inaugurating a ship!

 Facts you never knew about inaugurating a ship!

Today the honor of breaking the bottle across the ship's hull goes not to the presidential official, but instead to the ship's sponsor (or ship's godmother).  In modern times, ship's sponsors are almost always female, and they tend to be prominent civilians (especially in case of Navy vessels).  

The ship's sponsor is usually invited to all special events involving the ship, and may keep in contact with the crew of the ship.

  For the pass several years in order to raise awareness of and support a cure for breast cancer, Celebrity Cruises has named several breast cancer survivors to be godmothers of their ships.  For their most recent ship, Reflection, the four godmothers of this ship have not only been personally affected by breast cancer, but for the first time are also, Celebrity Cruises employees.

Being as this is a  "Freebie" week I decided this is what I wanted to share this week & I hope you don't mind (& I know you won't).
I saw a video over the weekend that actually made me shake and tears came rolling down.  I lost a child not from Cancer, but does it matter I still lost one. This video really touched my heart.  I lost my Dad to lung cancer, my mom had breast cancer, but she beat thank the Lord, but to think that all these children you're going to see actually put this video together with this song "Stronger by Kelly Clarkson I am totally speechless.   Bless this fighting hockey player, Chris Rumble that put it together.  My prayers for him and all his little buddies to beat his Leukemia and their Cancer.
 

Here's an extended version of the behind-the-scenes footage. You've seen Stronger | Seattle Children's Hospital by cancer patient Chis Rumble.
