god-parnts are 2 people that a parent choose for their child to act as their religious example though life. the god parents will be there when the baby (or child) is baptized, first communion and first confirmation.

it also used to mean that if the parents were to die that the god-parents would be the ones to raise the child.

my kids were baptized so they have god-parents. their god-parents have gone through every religious rituals with them. that's aobut the only role a god-parent has.

my god-parents were my grand-parents. they passed on in my adult years. they never got involved with my religious rituals. we lived too far away so that kind of defeated the purpose of having god-parents. we lived in different provinces.

although erika isn't baptized yet (and i don't think we're going to get her baptized. we're going to leave this one up to krystal), her god-parents are kassandra and my baby brother (who is 22).
