Day 508 - 14th August 2008

This doesn't seem like much of a picture, and I don't usually use people for the picture of the day without express permission first anyway, but today was slightly different - at least for me it was.

Pictured in the middle here between my dad on the right and my cousin on the left is my godfather, who, incidentally, until this day I had never met. Well, last time I saw him I was one year old, and I think he probably remembers about as much of that encounter as I do - so it was just like meeting for the first time today.

He'd gone to Asia just after my birth and since then, he was always just a guy who, despite being my godfather, I had only vaguely heard of. Anyway, there he is - turns out he's a nice guy, which is good to know. He's back off to Asia soon, we won't see each other much again probably, if we ever do, but I'm glad to have had that brush with my past I'd never thought I'd have.

I apologise for being so self-indulgent and introspective here, I know that while I see one guy, more important things go on, but I thought it was an interesting thing to talk about. Besides, it's all I took a picture of.
