Excellent Choices

My Parents selected my Godparents shortly after they learned they were expecting me. The families met, on a Sunday afternoon, to celebrate the anticipated arrival. They gathered at the suburban apartment my family had rented since it had moved to the Midwest.

Mom and Dad did not buy my childhood home until a bit later.
