No, I haven't had the honour of being a godmother. However my best friend of 27 years (we've been friends since the age of 5) is the godmother of my two children. I COULDN'T have chosen anyone more perfect for the job (or should I say challenge). She's affectionately known as "Aunt Shawn" to my children. She calls or emails them since we've been living here in Virginia (she lives in Columbia, SC). But when we were in SC she made sure that she spent time with them. And even now, whenever we go home to visit, she makes it a priority to spend time with them. She remembers their birthdays. She inquires about my daughter's grades in school and things like that. Anyone can tell that she takes her role of being godmother VERY seriously. Of course she buys them things. And I find it rather wise that she focuses on buying things that they NEED more often than what they WANT. Every time I think about her, I just get emotional because I KNOW that I KNOW that I KNOW that she is a blessing in my life and the lives of my children. I love her more than I could EVER say because I know that if something should ever happen to me, she (along with my husband, my husband's family, and my family), will step up to the plate and my children will be WELL taken care of. And that has put my mind at ease ever since she accepted this responsibility 8 years ago when my daughter was born.
