| see the butterfly? |
My godmother is in town for a few weeks, she called me up and we went to lunch. Her sister and her sister's daughter came with us. It came up in conversation that the daughter is living with leukemia. She might be in her forties. She said her leukemia medication exacerbates her diabetes. She has had 4 leukemia treatments so far and is in remission but whenever she stops treatment the cancer comes back. We agreed the only thing she can do is take one day at a time. Life is not easy.
For some reason my godmother told me the story of her wedding day all those years ago. She would be in her late seventies now. Her dad was late for the ceremony as he was coming from out of town. It seems that one of my uncles ended up giving her away as he happened to be standing there in the church.
My godmother was very close friends with my departed mom so I am happy that we are keeping in touch.

ReplyDeleteEveryone has these lovely stories. I bet your mom would be so happy to know you've spent time with your godmother. I'm sure there were a variety of reasons why she was chosen to be your godmother. Maybe this was one of them.
I will keep her daughter in my prayers.
Thanks for your touching comment Chris.
