My friends girlfriend's little girl asked me last night if I could be her godfather. At first I said no and laughed it off thinking it was a joke.

I turned to my friends and they had to correct me and inform me that in fact her mother had told her she could ask anyone she wanted.

I soon found out the reason. She has no contact with the people chosen by her absent father but her sister and brothers do, so she felt like she was missing something.

So anyway I figured this is too big a decision for a 7 year old to take without thinking about it.
Me being me, I suggested she write on small paragraph detailing why it should be me.

The picture is what she wrote.

I can tell you now that reading the letter almost brought a tear to my eye.

Kids are awesome. PERIOD. If you don't think so the read the picture again and again until you understand.
