when a godmom is born

today my best friend gave birth to a baby girl. the happy woman and her husband are still in the hospital, recuperating. i had the honor of being the child's godmother. to be happy is an understatement. i am joyful, elated, excited, impressed, awed, i don't even know how to describe my feelings. can't wait to see the new girl, the princess that everyone is waiting for.

looking back into my own childhood, i grew up reading tales with princesses and their fairy godmother. i was always happy and mesmerized whenever the godmother popped out of nowhere and came to the rescue of the princess.

today, i became one of the godmothers.

i don't know what kind of role that i'll have in the life of the child. i prayed to god that i can be really like the godmom in the stories. protecting and loving her and popping out helping at the right time.

today, the day when the princess is born, a godmother is born.
