Rusharound

This last weekend was a big one for me. I became a godfather for a little fella who shares a lot in common with me — he was born early and with respiratory difficulties, bumps into lots of things when he walks (note: he’s one year old), and is surrounded all the time by excellent friends. Though his baptism ceremony nearly overlapped with my cousin’s wedding (see previous post), I got to attend the rehersal and the chaotic-yet-wonderful ceremony.

His parents and I also got to trade some presents on Henry’s behalf. In addition to the great honor, I also got my first scented geranium, which I’ve named Hentry (spelling intentional – sounds like Hen-Tree). He appears to be getting along quite well with the Lucilles and Lupe. For Henry (talking about my godson now), I pledged to offset his per-capita carbon output for the rest of our lives.

If any seasoned godfathers have any hints, tips or suggestions, this first-timer is all ears.
