Godparents

Never had any. I think my parents were enough.

I don't have much to do with my god parents. They weren't a huge part of my life. One is my dad's cousin, and I see him at various family functions, but that's really it.

My wife and I were actually asked to be godparents of my cousin's daughter. My wife accepted, but I had to come out to them. So, they picked another male friend to fill in.

My godmother went out of the picture fairly early in my life. My godfather was a celebrity, but I never grasped how famous he was til I was in my early teens. Terrific man in every way.

While he was alive, I never much thought of him in 'godfather' terms, he was always 'Uncle Tommy', even though he was no blood relation - my father's best friend, so he would have been 'Uncle', regardless.

Oooo oooo oooo! Can I guess?? I'm guessing.

Tom Waits?
Tom Arnold? :p
Tom Clancy?
Tom Skerritt?
Tom Leykis? :p
Tom Brokaw?
Tom Conway?
Tom Oliver?
Thom Yorke?
Tom Cruise?

OK. I'm sick of thinking about the word "Tom" now.

lol, you were closest with Tom Clancy. My godfather was Tommy Makem.

My Godfather is awesome. I always pay him a visit whenever I head home to Sydney.

My Godmother, on the other hand is one of those people who should be locked up in isolation so they can't be inflicted on others.

My Fairy Godmother gave up on me years ago, calling me a hopeless case and "not deserving of imaginary creatures!" whatever that means . . .
