A New Title

Six years ago,

something big happened...

It changed my life forever...

It gave me a new title...

new responsibilites...

and new ways to love life.

Six years ago,

a little girl came in to the world.

Six years ago, I became an aunty.

I knew it would be an adventure -

but I would never have guessed

how much fun I would have.

I remember one day -

this little girl had been away

for a couple of weeks. 

She was about three months old. 

I saw her again...

spoke my hellos

and she did an incredible thing.

Stumpy, little fingers reached out

and held my face.

Without words,

she told me she loved me...

she'd missed me.

What an incredible moment!

Being an aunty means I get to:

hide in cupboards

ride scooters

get hugs

slide down slippery dips

climb into cardboard box homes

give thousands of kisses

have grimy little fingers hold me

laugh at rediculous things

and be rediculous.

Being an aunty

may be the best thing I've done...

Happy Birthday, Choosey!
