The Godfather

Perhaps the whole concept is a little antiquated, or maybe I don't quite understand it - despite the Mario Puzo book of the same theme being a favourite of mine: the tradition of assigning Godparents to a new born, and the meaning attributed to it. The only thing I'll say before continuing is that I'm sure whatever (situational) legal factors once involved, are long past, and it's meaning symbolic more than anything else. With that, I’d like to formally extend an invitation to you, Luke Wilson, an honour belonging to both TG and I, of being the Godfather to our newborn CSH. By this point you’re probably aware I'm not joking. And I'm not. I mean, why not? You fit the description perfectly. Since you came into our lives almost a decade ago, you've been a loyal participant akin to family, and directly involved in much of what is good for me and my family as it stands presently. In spite of hardships that, on occasion, threatened us reaching our goals and potential, you and your team mobilised and remained engaged and steadfast. Particularly recently when, during a campaign, you were required to wear many hats, and do what could be argued is lot more than what should be expected. But you wore those hats and wore them well. Sincerely - couldn't have done it without you. I literally can't thank you enough. Anyways, have a think about the godfather thing and let me know. I reckon its a great idea! You’ve got both me and TG on board! Which, on its own, is pretty exceptional an achievement lol. Oh - and imagine the quiver of cool quotes you would have at your disposal!? And cigars! Quick, before I take it. Sincerely
