I am a Godfather! My first goddaughter is Hailey Sophia Peters - the daughter of a good friend and an old fencing comrade of mine, Vince. And boy am I such a bad godfather? I haven't seen Hailey in flesh yet! Or maybe I show up when she turns 18? Haha just kidding. :)
Traditionally, godparents were informally responsible for ensuring the child's religious education was carried out, and for caring for the child should they be orphaned (I pray not!). But in the Filipino culture, godparents (or commonly known as ninong and ninang) are known for giving gifts during birthdays and Christmases. Of course I'm more then willing to help Hailey know Jesus!
Congratulations for a wonderful daughter Vince! And I pray for Hailey's great life ahead!
