I don't remember my godfather's face for I was very young. My godmother was even more remote as I never knew her name.
Mystery godparents, but they were out there, just the same (excuse the what Hope would term 'nickel- pickle rhyme').
When J.D. asked me to be John David III's godfather, I was baffled. Strange pick I thought, why me?
Years later, my eyes were opened in a little Midland country church. Brian and Joe were singing their hearts out to Protestant hymns I had never heard before. Enthusiasm Unbound! This wasn't an ordinary event. In the pew with me, it appeared to be Godfathers, Inc singing. Now, I understand that godchildren are an extra bond to the earth and I love everyone of mine.
I think he picked you because you know the atmospheric pressure at sea level... ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, Godparents can be wonderful gifts. Tom T. Hall albums and cherry trees - things I'll never forget, that will always remind me of Uncle Joe.
Uncle Tony you are a grand god father! I have always considered myself lucky to have you and aunt pat!
ReplyDeleteColleen, science is the key here. You nailed it.
