Frank and Rose Schwab
If ever something happens to the “Newborn’s” parents, there is the good and faithful “Godparents!” These are the next in line to take care of you, and especially – they signed up to be sure you find your way and walk in life with God, Your Father in Heaven! My Godparents were at my Baptismal, 21 days, after my birth, ceremony in the Perpetual Help Church, St.Louis, Missouri.
When I was getting old enough to know Frank and Rose Schwab, my Godparents, I found myself liking to be with them. They were absolutely terrific! “Why?” “Because they were always giving me gifts!” I don’t know, but when you are a little kid and no matter what happens in life, when you are with these certain family, friends, you receive unexpected love, care, feelings of friendship – you seem to be in a perfect world!
One memory, whenever we would visit at their home, they would always have a new “Doll-set” (male and female) dressed in the native custom of the country, they represented, boxed just for me. My “Godparents” are no longer here, so, my prayer for them is to be blessed exceedingly more than they ever expected, since they were truly a wonderful blessing to me!
