This weekend was very interesting and abnormal. I spent the entire weekend with my in-laws, I don't really think of them that way anymore they are just family now, and we all had new experiences. I have two amazing nephews that I love with all my heart and miss daily. As of this weekend I'm also an Aunt to a niece who has been welcomed into our family do to new love. My mother-in-law has an eternal soul mate who has welcomed his family into our lives. Now someone is a grandmother for the first time, I'm an Aunt to a little girl for the first time, and things are simply changing quick.
I love kids. I'm rarely nervous about being around them, maybe because I truly relate with those years and have never forgotten my childhood. My new niece is spectacular and opened my eyes to a completely different perspective, in general and internally reflective. I have my moments at the age of 27 and the biological clock ticks away, some days louder than others. It is constantly a conversation piece that most people like to bring up from time to time.
Though I'm personally not ready to bare my own seed, I love to partake in the activities of parental practice. After this weekend I reflect and find myself moved in a way that only an Aunt can feel. It is precious, priceless, and an honor.
I really miss my nephews and plan on seeing them sooner than later, but for now I hope that all three of these children know that there's someone they can talk to, watch a movie with, bake with, or cry to. These are awesome days.
