not godmother material

it truly is beyond me why parents would consider me -- me?! to become a godparent to their precious ones. i mean it's a huge responsibility and to be honest, one i'd rather not be any part of. sadly, over the weekend i was enjoined to be a godparent not once but twice to two adorable babies!

quota na ko for the next 10 years people! for the love of God please take me off your godmother material lists! really i'm not!

Jack in general. This prompted my cousin to write a letter to Fr. Jack, the Vicar General of the St. William's Cathedral. Her letter is copied below: 15 August 2004 Fr.
