My Godchild

One of my best friends in the entire world is having a baby.
I have been asked to be the God mother. I AM SO EXCITED!!!

I really don't think I can wait another 5 months to meet this child. We don't know yet if it is boy or girl. I still intend on referring to the baby as Chloe.. until I am corrected.
I am so honored that Liz would ask me. This is a huge responsibility that is being bestowed upon me.

I want nothing more than to love Chloe, with all my heart. To teach her right from wrong. To teach her to become her own person. To watch her grow into a beautiful woman. To be there for her, for times she doesn't feel she can talk to her mother or father. As much as I would hope this didn't happen, I know it does. We all do. So many children don't have that option of another adult to share their questions, problems or feelings with and that is sad. I want to be her voice of reason, I want to explain to her why her mother and father are right when she doesn't want to believe it. I want to be there for her at each bump in her road. Each time the world makes her cry, each time she is so happy she could burst. Evey triumph, every let down. I want to be there. I want her to know there is always someone there, supporting her, believing in her, praying for her.

I am so excited to meet this little bundle of joy. I just can't wait.
