As I stated in my previous blog, being invited as one of the godmothers for a baptism seldom happened to me. So, when my sister-in-law told me she wanted me to be one of the Godparents of her youngest offspring, I agreed. However, we encountered a problem during the processing because of the requirements. For single, you need to submit the certification of confirmation and for married, a marriage certificate or the latter. Thus, I don't yet have a confirmation, and I don't know why my parents didn't let me when I was still a kid. I do have a marriage contract, but the church did not accept it! Why? We got married at Civil wedding not in church! I was mad upon knowing that, yes, I am a Catholic, but there are times that I could not help but get mad at some practices. That leaves us no choice but to register my husband as the Godparent and me as the Proxy. We are husband and wife; as they say so, that still counts.
The baptism was scheduled for ten in the morning on January 1, 2023, so we didn't drink liquor at the New Year's celebration. We might not be able to wake up.
There were only a few pairs of couples with their child to be baptized. On our end, the kids were already showing tantrums as they found the weather hot. (two siblings of to be baptized tag along).Though for me, it's not! I was cold, but they were used in cold temperatures in Canada.
The ceremony didn't last long as some of the practices were revised due to pandemic , Thus after we our supposed to take some photos as remembrance but just like what happened on New years eve, no decent one captured, lol.
Even our selfie as one of her kid was not really in mood.
So we just went home as the church was a walking distance from our home. Due to busyness and we even unable to put up design or backdraft for the christening at home 😬🤣.
I am still tired and sleepy because of the last night event to decided to go home in my house as I plan to sleep.
I was about to close the door but saw someone was tailing me!
Yes, the kid my new God daugther! I think she love the candy that I gave to her so she followed me to ask for some. I put her in the couch and took a pack of. I know I should not feed her much so just get a few pieces for her and place the remaining on the other side. However my husband called so I answer my phone and when I glance at her she was already gone. This was only left!
Lol, what a smart kid! She didn't only leave the trash but took all my candies!
When I went out saw her walking with the pack of it in her hands!
And she was so CUTE! I don't have the heart to take back the candies.
It doesn't end up there. The next day, she visited me again with a jar of chocolates. I guess she wanted to be alone , away from her cousins so she went into my house.
Yet, being the only girl her brothers was protective with here even though they are still kids. As expected one of them was following her to make sure she is fine. Which I find a sweet gesture!
There is is, comfortably sitting on the couch and happily eating chocolates which his brother's prize from the parlor game last night.
Hello Fellow Hivians; how is your day? I hope you got a happy weekend.
