I have a story to share with you about a young man that came into my life and literally changed everything about my life. He was a prayed for blessing a perfect distraction in all our crazy lives.. My sweet sister wasn't sure when or if she would ever get pregnant and yet I will always remember the pooh shoes that told me " I was going to be an AUNT" I will never forget jumping up and down, screaming and hollering and literally just being soo excited! When Matthew was born he came at a time in my life when I needed a NEW focus and Matthew was that focus...He changed EVERYTHING!!!
Since than Matthew has filled my life with so much laughter, so much joy and such and awesome honour to be called HIS AUNT! Matthew for as long as I can remember has been the young man with the "beyond wild imagination" the " amazing knowledge of things I would never think to know so much about" the "uncanny ability to make me laugh when NOBODY else could" he had my heart in the palm of his hands and he still does. I have watched him grow from a laughing, silly, fun loving, kind little boy to this amazing man that just blows my mind every time I think about him. Matthew is wise beyond his years.....he has such a way of seeing things... of looking beyond someones faults and seeing the good in them, he forgives and he loves with all that is in him. He protects, he protects me and I saw that when my ex hurt me so badly Matthew protected me i didn't realize at the time how much until this past summer when I stayed in Florida with them..Matthew was quiet and didn't say much at first BUT than he would start talking to me about all kinds of things and he would say things about wanting to see me happy.. Matthew i knew would be a tough cookie for another man to ever be his uncle because he was so hurt by my ex. I worried when Chad went to Florida with me for my grannies funeral, I worried how Matthew would take to him and I prayed that Matthew would see what I saw. He did, he saw the good side and he let me know in his own way he approved. In all my life, in all I have done I pray that I am remembered the most for being a good AUNT...
I pray Matthew always knows how very much I love him and how very very proud of him I am. Sometimes I think about this past summer and the" missiles"lol that often just barley missed my head...I also remember the "shows" Matthew and I watched together..the laughs that sometimes nobody else understood but us. The talks and closeness that we gained. I wouldn't trade anything in this world for that time because Matthew and I bonded again.
He is somebody that I will forever be proud of , forever admire and forever respect. Even as a young man he already deserves my respect and leaves me speechless when I stop and think of the wisdom he holds. He was my first nephew, the first all nighters when i spent the night to help out, my first nephew b-day parties, my first aunt things, my first heart strings pulled, my first everything as an Aunt and he will always and forever have a huge part of my heart! Matthew I love you so very much! I am so proud of everything you stand for and everything you are! I pray that as your Aunt I can make you proud of me and that you will NEVER ever doubt my love for you. You are sooo important to my life and I will always hold you close to my heart! I hope you have an amazing birthday! I will be home soon to see you ......I love you bubby always and forever!
