second parents

there are so many people that i've talked to that have godparents whom they aren't close with. and i have to say -- i can't relate.

i have a godfather and i love him just like a second father. i admit that i could spend more time with him, but with our schedules, the time that we manage now is pretty good already [i think]. i love the relationship that i have with him now, and the relationship i had with him before when i was younger. i remember spending time with him and his family, growing up with his nephews and acting as if i was one of their cousins. it was very -- at home -- for me.

i love having a lot of people around me

and i think i find it a thrill to be able to say i have a godpa. its not only a "title" to me. its more than that for me and i guess it frustrates me when people tell me stories of how detached they are to their godparents. its such a special relationship to have and yet people neglect that fact because they "don't really count as family"

i can't imagine a definition of family without godparents

idk, it just sucks to see people around me not value their relationships. it takes forever to build one, and just a single action or word to break it. as daddy's little girl, its a bonus for me to have another daddy to spoil me, and since i don't have much of a relationship with my mother, i want a godma to spoil her with a bit of me. so ---
