I was lucky enough to have three godparents growing up... my mother's best friend Emily, and her parents, Eunice and Kurt. I called the women Auntie, but Kurt I called Papa, because everybody did.
Papa passed away when I was overseas and I couldn't come back. Auntie Eunice passed away in January and we're in Regina for her funeral. Auntie and Papa are on my mind today... Papa's loud, roaring voice; German sentence structure; cigar smoke; fat armchair; piles of newspapers; pump organ; packs of gum; being called "girlie"... Auntie's soft smile; red hair; large glasses; gentle eyes; mouth-melting cinnamon buns; long hugs; good advice.
