How being a Godmother changed my life...


Three years ago I got the biggest blessing of all, I got asked to be the Godmother to this little boy. When I found out his mom was pregnant I was so excited! But putting my hand on her belly to feel him move was even better. I knew what I had to do to get ready for him to enter into the world. I prepared myself and got myself ready to be the best influence I can be for him. The day of his birth was rather exciting. I woke up at 5 am and went to rices with my family. I then got a call that his mommy was being rushed to the hospital because she was going into labor. When I arrived at the hospital I waited in the waiting room for awhile. I did not want to miss my Godson being born! Then after awhile he finally came and I got to meet him for the first time. It was so magical, when I saw him I was overwhelmed with joy. I sat down in a chair and he was placed in my arms and I knew in that moment our relationship was going to be special. I spent the next few days going to the hospital everyday and enjoying my time with him. After about a week I went and visited him at home and changed my first poopy diaper ever! It was such a blessing to be able to spend time with him! As he has grown he has turned into an amazing little boy! Sometimes I think he's even smarter than me! He calls me Manda and when I see him he brightens my day! He loves Paw patrol, ninja turtles, and video games. He loves to play hide and seek and he loves the outdoors! You see, Mason made me grow up. He made me realize what love truly means. Of course I love my other family members. However, when your a Godmother the meaning of love changes. Love is patient and kind and beautiful, It's when you think about somebody and you get happy and feel a warmness in your heart. That's what love is! Mason made me realize that it does not take much to be happy! We have to appreciate what we have. I have turned into the best human being because of him, because he showed me that love is greater than anything else. I would do anything for this little boy, I would give up my life to save his. Hearing his laugh, seeing his smile, watching him grow has been the biggest joy in my life! I will always support him no matter what, I will always be somebody he can look up to. I will always give him nothing but love. Mason Caleb Bennett has made me a better human being and he has brought me nothing but joy, happiness and peace. He is God's gift to me and I will forever be thankful that I have a little boy that looks up to me and loves me for me. I can't wait to continue to watch him grow for the next 15 years until he's 18!!

Being a Godmother is being called to be a light into that child's life. I am thankful everyday for him, 
If you have a baby or child in your life..Whether it's a Godchild or your own child or a niece or nephew or cousin. Be the best person you can be for that child. Show that child love and cherish every moment with them. If you have to change to be the best role model to that child then do it! You are all in my prayers, your all wonderful, beautiful, inspiring people! I will continue to pray for all of you!
