God-father-less

My god-father passed away recently.

I had always thought that I was his only god-daughter, so was surprised to learn when I visited him in May that he actually has 3. One is my cousin, and one a total stranger - a lovely person I met for the first time. There might be others I have yet to learn about.

Though I thought of my uncle often, I never really gave much thought to having a god-father. I am surprised at how much I miss having one.
