This is also why I chose Joaquin's godparents carefully. I chose people whose values and character I admire and people who I would like my son to look up to.
One of my childhood friends (and very good friend), Mia, recently gave birth to her second daughter. I stopped by their place Saturday morning to get something from her twin sister, Lia. As soon as I entered their home, I looked for Lulu (the new baby) and I found Mia carrying her.
Mia: Bunny, will you be Lulu's Ninang?
Me: *squealing* Of coursseeee! I think I'm going to cry.
Lia: You think you're going to cry? Wait till you hear why she wants to make you Ninang.
Mia: Because I think you're a good mom and I know that if anything happens to my daughters, you will love them as your own. And don't worry, I'm insured! Hahaha!
I was seriously close to tears. It was the nicest way anyone has ever asked me to be their child's godmother.
Mia's eldest, 3-year-old Lila, heard our conversation and dramatically ran out of the room. Mia followed her and after a few minutes, she came back to me and explained that Lila asked why I get to be Lulu's Ninang. Apparently, Lila wants me as a ninang too.
I saw Lila peeking by the bedroom door so I called her and said "Come here na, I'm also your ninang!"
Love love love that I gained 2 goddaughters! (1 unofficial, haha!)
