Now let me preface this by saying that while I have been to church and do have faith, I do not really agree with the concept of organized religion. I think it is a wonderful idea that has had a bunch of greedy, self serving individuals ruin it for the world at large. And that it a shame, truly.
That aside, you now have a Godmother. And it is Aunt Paulyn. She is awesome. There was never any doubt as to who would be the godmother. Your mom and I believe that the title is honorary, given to someone who is special to the mother and father. And Aunt Paulyn is special to the both of us. I have known her my whole life, your mom has known her a few years. But she knew, right away, that Aunt Paulyn would be the choice. She said so after she first met her. Aunt Paulyn made that strong of an impression. Not only is she an extremely kind and caring woman, she is very funny and very genuine. And she is a Yankees fan, never hurts. Her genuine nature is what is most fantastic. She is so full of life and just general goodness. She has this aura that makes you want to talk and laugh with her and that is pretty special.
Perhaps the most important part of her being godmother is that it means something to her. To her, it is a special thing that we have decided to ask her to be a part of. She is now officially part of your lives. We made a damn fine choice.
You know when we asked her she said she wanted to call Dave, her husband who had just passed away. ( A man by the way who was every bit the amazing, genuine person Aunt Paulyn is). She said that if she told him that we had asked her he would have simply replied, "Yup." We couldn't agree more.
