"Shazia & Baby"

Shazia gave me a card that read: 

"In a world that sometimes forgets what true and real things are made of, you are there with your honesty.  In a world often filled with me, me, me, you are there with your unselfish heart.  In a world that needs beauty, you shine.  I appreciate your friendship...I appreciate you."

As if that wasn't enough to jerk a couple tears, she then shared this poem with me upon requesting that I be her child's godmother:

"Like stars that shine in heaven

A godmother's endless love

Lights the way for her godchild,

As the Lord gives a nod from above.

She was chosen because of her goodness

And too, for her gentle side.

But also because her godchild,

Could view her with love and pride.

For she is a perfect example 

Of all that a person should be;

A kind and caring guardian

standing by for eternity."

She signed it, "Will you?   ~Shazia & Baby"

I have never been so humbled and honored.  I so look forward to being a part of this childs life!
