In love....

There are few things to describe the love that one can have for her own children. But, never did I think that my love for my sisters children would be as great as it is.

When I first found out that my sister, Jessica, was pregnant with her 1st child, I was instantly in love with her unborn baby. Kinda like it is with my own, but different. When baby #1 came along, whom we will call "S", I was awestruck by the love I felt for her. She is now almost 2 and she is my little sunshine because she make me smile. She makes me laugh! Her little personality is so sweet and spunky at the same time. It absolutly KILLS ME to be 4hrs away from her.

So, last week, my sis had baby #2. He, whome we will call "K", came into the world shortly after I arrived. I would like to think that he waited for me to show up!!! Come on, can't a girl flatter herself! Anyway, Jessica had asked me if I would want to be in the room since I had two c-sections and had never been able to experience a natural delivery. Wow, what an honor. I have never been so proud of my sister nor have I ever seen anything as amazing as how God created our a womans body to deliver a baby. Well, most, apparently mine didn't want to comply!!! Thank you, Jessica, for that opportunity. It is something that I will never forget.

So, little K is here now. And, once again, I am love struck. Once again, I hate the distance between us. And, once again I pray and ask God to allow me someday to be close to my sisters again so that my dream of my kiddos and their cousins being best buddies can come true. can be close buddies with their cousins. Okay fine, and so that I don't have to have my heart broken every time I have to say goodbye.
