I got to spend some time with my niece today and I loved every moment of it. She is getting so big...a month old yesterday. The highlight of the day was when she fell asleep on my chest for a good 45 mins. Its amazing how powerful a emotion can be. I treasured each moment I had her laying there...rubbing her back, smelling that sweet baby smell of her and loving her so much. Its a wonderful feeling. It really is.
I have here a short video of her...I do apologize for the darkness (stupid camera) But I figured it was time to share something a little different lol
You are not here yet, but my arms ache to hold you. To smell that baby freshness babies seem to have and to keep you close to me. Even though you are not here yet, I love you so much.
You are almost like the child I will never have. I look forward to watching you grow and learn and turn into a person who I hope is blessed for the rest of your life. I want to watch you grow into a beautiful child, a teenager, a woman. I want to stand back in a distance and smile as I watch you play. I want to always be there for you. I want you to know you can always count on your Aunt Victoria. Always.
Although your birth will be a blessing and a exciting time, it is also bittersweet. I hurt for your father that he is unable to be there with what should be one of the hugest milestones in his life. My heart aches and the tears form whenever I think about it. He should be there too hold you first thing and to share in the most beautiful thing that will ever happen to him.
I worry because both your parents are so young and just not ready to be parents. Your mother having no experience with babies....your father locked away. Not the ideal setting to be bringing a child into this world. But you will never go without. As long as your Aunt is here, you will be well taken care of...well loved. This I promise you.
My sweet sweet niece...oh how loved you are already.
