Ramblings
It's been awhile since I've posted, as usual it would seem. Times have been good and strange in equal measure. On Sunday I learned that my godfather died after a fight with cancer. It really got me thinking. This man was supposed to be the most important person in my formative youth outside of my parents and yet I had only met him 2 or 3 times. The last time I saw him was about 18 years ago, I can't even remember exactly. Him being my godfather was just a big issue in my family that made me a bit of and outcast amongst my mother's siblings. I don't know what my parents were thinking when they chose my godparents, but my mother's side of the family were not at all happy with their decision. My mother's side of the family is a tad petty ;) I can't help but wondering what things would've been like had I known him better. I don't know anything about him, not what he did for work, why he didn't have children, why he is my godfather. It's strange. My extended family has never been very close, would things have been different if my parents chose someone on my mom's side of the family for my godparents. It is a shame that this man, who should've been so important to me, died and I didn't know him at all.
