I am godmother to my precious nephew and it was one of the best day's of my life standing up there holding him that day, then handing him to our priest (the same priest that baptized both my brother and me! and performed our weddings! and performed our parent's wedding in 1968!), and then being able to assist in the rubbing of the oil on him. Such a beautiful day!!! Many blessings to you and your family!!! 🙂
