I've heard some pretty cool godparent traditions over the years. Buying the first pair of shoes. Buying the christening gown. Taking the kid to the water park so Mom can work (what, only my kid's godmother is doing that tomorrow?). And now a new one: one godmother saved up 500,000 pennies to give her goddaughter one amazing graduation gift. For 15 years, ever since Kyla Gilbert was 3 years old, Faith Hammock has been picking up pennies and stowing them away to help pay a chunk of her goddaughter's college tuition. Just think about that for a minute.![]()
