I never knew it was possible to love a child as much as I love her, even though she does not belong to me. I never knew someone could steal my heart the way she has. 19 months ago this precious girl was born. She makes my heart sing. I don't think she will ever know the true joy she has brought to my life. Our whole family adores her but I have to say my favorite times are when it is just she and I playing or reading together. I hope my sister knows how much i love being her aunt and that i would do anything for her little girl. I hope I am being the kind of aunt to her daughter that she has been to my kids. Oh how I love this child.
how can you not- she is the future, the promise of your relationship with your sis and yet an amazing extension all her own...as an auntie to 10 i know jsut how you feel!

Those braids! Ack!
Isn't auntdom awesome? I've got 4 nieces and 3 nephews and I can't get enough of them - although the big nephews don't quite know what to make of their crazy Aunt Lori. :)
