Will you be my Godmommy?

I have always known who I would want to be my baby’s first Godparent for years.  We have been best friends since the 6th grade.  She moved after that year to Arizona, and even with the distance, we have remained best friends.  The person I speak of is Erika Roberts.  She has not only been my best friend through the years and through the distance, but she has always felt like a sister.  We are different in many ways, but alike in many others.  If you have ever met Erika, she has one of the greatest personalities ever! 

When Erika and I were younger, she would come to visit during the summer, and  we would do the most daring things.  One time we placed pillows at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor in my home.  Then we would go to the second floor, and climb along the balcony rails, so that we could jump from the second floor to the first.  Ha...just thinking about it, makes me wonder why we were so daring.  It was always fun when we would reunite.  As we grew older, we both have been through some hard times in life.  Through those hard times, we would give an ear to listen, and have never judged one another on the decisions we chose to make.  All we ever wanted was the best for one another. 

With all that has been said, is the reason that I did not have to put any thought into who my firstborn's, Godmother would be.  I know that no matter what, she will always be there for my child, and treat my child like it was her own.  I know that if anything was ever to happen to me, my child would be safe in Erika’s care.  Even through the distance our bond has never been broken, so I know without a doubt, she will always be there for Baby Alexander.  On Mother's day I sent a gift to her job along with a card.  In the card, I told her how much she meant to me, and on the other side, was a note from the baby.  At the end of the note, it said...WILL YOU BE MY GODMOTHER?
