Expectations of my godfather role?

The role of godfather seems to have less meaning than it used to as children are much less likely to be orphaned. Think about what it is you want to do, what you can do, and what you think you should do. You said your cousin is very close, so speak to her and ask what she expects from you as a godfather, but make sure she knows that you'll always be there to help. What sort of mistakes are they and how do you think the father will handle prison? Will there be repercussions if you get too close? Last of all, if you are a Christian godfather, pray about it, and your godson. Good luck
