Godmothers count, too. . . .

My first godchild is now a grown woman whose talents continue to blossom. She was born while I was in college, so I wasn't much of a godmother for her first few years. I'd never had godparents, so I really didn't know what was expected of me.

Thankfully, Nan has forgiven my shortcomings and is now not only my first niece and godchild, but a friend and mentor. She encouraged me to start a blog and to try drawing. The blog has been fun, but my artistic skills still leave much to be desired. Perhaps photography is more my forte. Anyway, I'll keep trying.

Thank you for the Mothers' Day card, Nan. You will always own a piece of my heart.
