Fairy Godmother

When my friends’ Renee and Damien asked me to be Godmother to their first daughter Poppy, I almost fell off the couch. Then I got a little teary.

“You want me?” I asked, unsure if I’d heard right.

“Are you nuts?”

My reaction wasn’t because I didn’t think I was up to the task. I was unbelievably honoured.

I just never in a million years thought they would consider me when they have dozens of other friends who, on paper, look like way more stable prospects for parenting and guidance should the need arise. I’m not exactly around a lot.

They said they chose me because they like my sense of adventure. It’s the highest compliment anyone has ever paid me.

I spent the weekend with Poppy up at Renee and Damien’s farm and we had a ball playing fairies (I am a fairy Godmother after all), making cheese and feeding the donkeys. I love that kid 🙂
