So today was a very special day as Alizandra Maxime Dela Cruz was baptized. I have been given the honour of being one of the god fathers (along with Dela and his older broham John). Alizandra is the youngest of Mike and Karen's 3 girls (Elizabeth and Izabella) and like the previous 2, she cries shortly after I pick her up. Hopefully like her two older siters, she'll evenutally warm up to me and share her fruit snacks with me.
A promise was made today that I will always be there to support and guide her and I will try my best to do so. As I saw her today and held her briefly, I saw her in a new light. It's hard to describe but it felt different this time than the other times. It's just different when you're a god parent for those of us who aren't parents. It's like we're in part her parents and we and are responsible for the up bringing of this child. Like I said, it's tough to describe but I could only imagine how cool it feels to be a parent cuz I feel pretty cool being a god parent.
To Alizandra, I will always love you and will always be there for you no matter what. I look forward to watching you grow and being there every step of the way.
