I'm an Aunt
Mood:  happy
Topic: Baby William

I have known for some time now that my brother was going to be a parent.  I could have never been prepared for the reaction I had when it actually happened and baby William was born. 

It amazes me how we can talk about something every single day and it never passes the wall of emotion until it comes to finally be.  Standing there in the restraunt where I work part time I came to a shocking realization that this WAS infact happening, and I was infact an aunt.  Seeng the picture of this little life that will be known as my nephew brought me to an emotional point that I couldn't return from.  The tears streamed down my face uncontrolably.  

Looking at my brother, my little brother, holding his child for the first time is something I will cherish forever!  The gaze that he had into this babys face was like no look I had seen from him before...and yet I have been there.  It is the proudest moment of your life.  You sit there marveling at the blessing GOD has given you and there are no words to describe the emotion you feel.

I will always see Madison as the little boy I grew up with.  The memories will never fade!  He will be a wonderful Father - I am certain of it!  Shareen will be an equally great Mother.  I look forward to the new memories that are made with our children.
