Auntie Ab

Posted by Emily, Christopher, and Camden at 1:39 PM

Anticipation! That's the feeling I am overwhelmed with lately. I cannot wait for Baby to meet all the incredible people who love him already. Watching him form relationships with our families, friends and pups will be so rewarding. He will be born into a world filled with people who adore him and are so special to us.

One gift I most thankful Baby Tike will have is the relationship with his Auntie Ab. He will be able to tell his secrets to her and trust her with all his heart, share his dreams and aspirations and know she will hope for them too, depend on her for anything and everything, and go to her for thought-filled advice; because that's what I have done for over twenty years. As I write this, tears are falling so fast I cannot even see. My heart is full of admiration and appreciation that my son will always have another person he can count on to be in his corner the way I have.

An aunt is a gift whose worth cannot be measured except by the heart. An aunt is a joy to be remember your whole life through. I not only call you aunt, I call you friend! Aunt you're forever in my heart. Aunts like you are precious and few! An aunt grows more treasured as time goes by! My aunt is someone to remember with warmth, think of with pride and cherish with love.

This picture says it all! Judging by what you've received from her and Uncle Joe already, Baby, get ready to be spoiled!

That post, of course, sent the floodwaters streaming down my face. Thank you so much for your kind and loving words. I am so so excited to love your little Baby boy...more than I do already. I very much look forward to having a new person come in to my small circle of people I hold very close to my heart. And I hope he always feels like I am behind him 100% and he can always count on me.

Hmmmm we sure do have TWO gorgeous daughters. As we have told so many people we not only have wonderful daughters but if we were to hand pick our son-in-laws, we could NOT have done better than Chris and Joe. We are so blessed.
