Gage was a four-year-old boy who lost his mother. He was at his father’s wedding, where S Marine Corps sergeant Joshua Newville, married Senior Airman Emily Leehan in Ripley, New York.
Until his stepmother started to her speech, Gage was doing a great job. Gage was standing next to his father in his great suit. Then the time for Leehan and Newville’s vow exchange arrived.
After Newville, Leehan started to her speech. And, when she started to talk, everyone at the wedding lost control of themselves as they burst out crying.
“I want you to be safe, and to try your hardest and to be a good person.” Leehan started.
As Gage couldn’t hold his tears back, Leehan tried to comfort Gage as “Don’t cry baby,” she said.
“The last thing thing I hope you learn is that you are a special boy,” Leehan said. “You are so extremely smart, handsome, and kind to others. You have helped shape me into the woman that I am today and I may not have given you the gift of life, but life surely gave me the gift of you.”
