Oh my goodness, I'd not heard about Matushka Barbara. She is in my prayers.
My priest is a seminary friend of Father and Matushkas, and I believe that they are Godparents to each other's children.
Yes, that is the case. Hmmm. Your priest is the godfather of my youngest sons godmother. Does that mean we are related?
Somehow, I'm sure :)
