Becoming your godmother…

Little mystery baby, growing gently in your mom’s belly, let me introduce myself: I’m your godmother. You know, the one who sometimes talks to you and asks you to move for her? You have no idea how excited I am for your arrival.

First of all, you have exceptional parents who already love you more than anything. Even without knowing if you’re a girl or a boy, they’re already devoted to your health, your happiness, and your success. They’re both endlessly generous, attentive people who will always do their best to make sure you get the very best life has to offer. Mom’s only wish was to have a big, happy family—little ones playing outside, magical Christmases with matching pajamas. Your mom is like a sister to me; she’s always there to listen, offering good advice and endless laughter. Your dad works hard; for him, too, family means everything. His job is the same as your grandpa’s and your great-grandpa’s—running the family farm. Dad works to keep it afloat, all for you and your siblings. It was these two extraordinary parents who decided that I would be your godmother: what an honor!

You also have a big brother—so sweet and kind—who I’m convinced will be your ally and a listening ear. Your brother will encourage you, be patient as you grow up, and share everything he can with you. You also have an older sister—a little bundle of energy and vitality. She’ll be fiercely protective, and just like your brother, she’ll want you to join in on the fun. Together, you’ll form a cheerful little group, full of love, and you’ll bring joy to your wonderful, extended family.

And me? I’m the mom of your two cousins, who are also excited about your arrival! I’ve been working with little ones like you for 15 years now. Your parents asked me to take on this important role during a difficult time in my life; you can’t imagine how much good they’ve done for me by entrusting me with this responsibility. I want you to know that I’ll be there to help protect your little heart from those who won’t make your happiness their priority. I’ll definitely be there for your birthdays—and, of course, all the important events in your life. When you need someone to confide in, I’ll be just a phone call away. A question too embarrassing to ask your parents? Your godmother will come to the rescue. If you need advice, I’ll be there. At every step of your unique journey, I’ll be right by your side.

For me, becoming your godmother means giving my very best to another little one besides my own girls. Without knowing your name, without having seen the color of your eyes, without having held you in my arms, I already love you. I’ll team up with your parents to protect you, support you, encourage your dreams and ambitions, and wish for nothing but your success. Little mystery baby, you can always count on me. I love you, my treasure!
