I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know...Gina,<br /><br />I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know how meaningful Godparents can be. I lost my Godfather two years ago, but my Godmother is still alive. Fortunately, both of my parents are still alive. I do have Godparents for my daughter and will also have them for my son (who I'm currently carrying and due in March). I wish you peace and comfort in this time of loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and please don't worry about visiting blogs right now. We all understand!Stephenie from Decorating Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08967777863836506677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-6790872259448016542011-01-21T16:29:27.106-08:002011-01-21T16:29:27.106-08:00hello, i am sorry for your loss and i must tell yo...hello, i am sorry for your loss and i must tell you that i too lost my godfather this past week. he (and his wife) also were best friends of my parents..(many many years agao..1956)..i hadnt seen either of them in a while (she was also my godmother, and she passed away a few years ago.) but it still a strange feeling. They were in my life since the day i was born..but i do have to say, yes people do still have godparents. i am god mother to a neice and a nephew, and just last month my grand neice was christened....with wonderful godparents present.<br />blessings to you.jeanne@juNxtapositionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061877145166134631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-71770421974360854862011-01-20T16:37:01.200-08:002011-01-20T16:37:01.200-08:00Gina...I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

I was honored to be asked and although they live in another state, I work at communicating with them a lot. Your story has inspired me to know that as a Godparent, I can play a significant role in their lives. God Bless.<br />DenisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320688908371656855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-8218250424826061232011-01-20T07:53:24.436-08:002011-01-20T07:53:24.436-08:00Oh lovely lady, I am so very sorry for your loss o...Oh lovely lady, I am so very sorry for your loss of so wonderful a person.<br /><br />But still, I am glad you had him in your life for as long as you did.<br /><br />And your blog, you write what you want.

I'm godmother to 2 of my neices, I'm still their aunt anyway, but their special aunt.<br />My children also have godparents and again, there is a special relationship there. <br />Your parents were very wise to choose such a wonderful couple to be your godparents. It sounds like you enriched their lives as much as they enriched yours.

They were at every party, every big event, they sent cards and letters when I married and moved out of state, even came to visit once. Sadly, they have let some things come between the families, and no longer wish to have contact. It has hurt a lot, I lost the one person who I could go to about the things I didn't want to talk to my mom about. I still love them very much, and think of them often. I still read the letters they sent, and appreciate the advice they gave. I miss them a lot. Again, I am sorry for your loss, I know that doesn't help a lot, but I am sorry.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248888041239177828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-39971260744833543662011-01-18T17:37:06.090-08:002011-01-18T17:37:06.090-08:00thanks for sharing gina. my godmother passed away...thanks for sharing gina. my godmother passed away in the spring of last year. she and my godfather were very special to me.

But, I think it is a good one. <br /><br />Whenever children are loved by more people everyone wins. :o)<br /><br />I am so sorry for your loss. <br /><br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135456666823026419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553855640593117259.post-61358435251915875592011-01-18T17:18:10.409-08:002011-01-18T17:18:10.409-08:00Oh I am so sorry for your loss.

It's always hard losing someone so close to you. I am coming up on the one year anniversary of my father's death. It's still not easy. I hope the memories you have with him will bring you comfort. And yes, I have a godmother. My godfather passed away when I was very young.
