Ninang Ginny

Today, I became a ninang to my best friend Nona's precious son, Morpheus Ezekiel. His father is an artist and musician, and a big fan of Neil Gaiman's Sandman: I hope the boy will not be too traumatized growing up.

I will spoil him rotten. On his 1st birthday, I will buy him all of Dr. Seuss' books. On his 10th birthday, I will give him a shiny red bike. When he gets his first girlfriend, I will take him aside and tell him about women, specifically, to avoid the ones who will call him "daddy" and "papa", and who ask to be peed on in bed. I will cry at his college graduation, and if I am rich enough, I will give him the keys to a brand new car.

I will try to live the kind of life he can look up to. I am, after all, his godmother.
