Godparenting

I ordered a cute little tin from Popcorn Factory today for my godson, Dylan, for Valentine's Day.

I never know what my responsibilities are as a godparent today. Back in the day, I believe that godparents used to be the people that kind of signed up for caring for the child after the horrible demise of the parents. And then I think it became a spiritual source. Actually, I am not sure what the history is to be frank!

I know what I do. I buy gifts for major holidays. I attend family parties. I send cards of encouragement (when I remember). I am 'friended' on Facebook. I brag that he is the best of the four brothers of that family since I am involved.

What should I be doing?????
