I'm so honored and excited--my sister in law, Alivia, just asked me to be our nephew's godmother (Max). It's so poignant for me because my husband and she are not very close, but I have really tried to cultivate a relationship with her because, well, I love her. She's a wonderful person and is such a good mother, and she has forgiven my husband for a lot of things that I personally would have sent him walking for--she is generous of spirit. They were children of a very problematic marriage and though her childhood was less than perfect, she made it through to see her life in a new light, but he still muddles through at times.
I was never blessed with a large family, so this just makes my year.
Just think of all of the roads there are...all of the things I haven't seen....yet. |

Congratulation, Jonni! What an honor! I bet she picked you because she sees the same qualities in you that you see in her. You both sound like special women. Max is lucky.

How wonderful Jonni,
She must really think a lot of you to want to give that honor. She is very lucky to have someone like you in her life and now in her son's life. I think she chose well!

| I agree with the gals; Max's mom obviously saw a loving and kindred spirit in you, and I bet he adores you, too. See, your love and good will are bringing the family closer together than would be otherwise. Congratulations! Nance |

Thanks so much, girls. I really am so excited. I've never been asked before and, like I said, in light of my husband's "issues" with family, I really just think it's grand! When I told him, he seemed very happy, and I was relieved. You just never know how things will hit someone...
So, if I'm the godmother, what kind of cool stuff do you get a boy!!!
I need a christening gift to start.
Jump right in, suggestions are needed!
