My eldest has Sheila and Gus as godparents...great except that Gus is now living in the Channel Islands somewhere and we havent seen him for abou 10 yrs, DD is almost 12. Sheila we see every month or so.
Middle child has Kaye and Simon as godparents. Both being childhood friends of mine. We see Kaye twice a year for birthday and Xmas, but Simon we see very rarely, so probably not a good choice either.
Hayley will be blessed with Sarah and Jeremy as godparents. Sarah is a lady that my mother looked after from the time she was 4 months old, she is now almost 24, Jeremy is her partner and they are the sweetest people, they both cried when I asked them. I know its a little strange and Sarah is also Sheila's daughter, so its a little confusing.
BUT the one thing that I do know is that they will be in our lives forever and I know that they love the girls like their own. Jeremy even plays Bratz dolls with the girls.
Personally I think you really should choose someone that will stick around and be involved in your childs life, someone who you know that your child will be able to turn to in times of need.
