Some of you may have noticed by reading some of my posts that I am not religious, I am not even baptised, but I have a god daughter.

J & J are my best friends. J is like my brother, they are both 32 and they have been together for 17 years. Baby J is 2 years old. When J got pregnant we were sooo excited, we just figured if they were going to have kids it would have already happened. Anyway it was made known right away that I would be the baby’s god mother. It made me so incredibly happy that someone would put that much trust in me and I’d do anything for baby girl. Almost immediately upon J asking me to be the baby’s god mother, I kind of freaked. I have lots of friends who are god parents and most of them had to take “catholic classes” and definitely had to be baptised. I was not willing to get baptised so I could be her god mother because as much as I loved her that’s something very very serious to me and if I did it, it would be after much soul searching, not just on a whim.
