Today i got the chance to watch my niece and nephew while my brother and his wife stole away a few hours to watch the civil war game. I love these kids, the stuff they say is the most pure hearted and witty things i've ever heard.T
he advantage living 20 minutes away is i have gotten the chance to watch them grow up. I was at the hospital when they were born, every birthday party and now watching them grow into little people in front of my own eyes!
As i begin to get in the moving mindset im realizing that these moments are precious because they will become scarce after my relocation. It breaks my heart to think about being away from them. Not hearing them laugh, ask every question in the world, and seeing their love for life and God grow.
People say that you don't understand what true love is until you have your own children. Until then i think im pretty much as close as i will get. Everything that seems to matter; a clean house, quiet time, a neat appearance all goes out the window and you begin to look at life differently. It's not about you anymore, its about this little person who is changing your life more than you realize. Seeing them makes me recognize how much capacity i have to love. I can't bear to think of coming home and seeing them grown up, i dont want them to forget me.
Although I do know that they have shown me a joy for life you often forget as you mature. They laugh, play and love without expecting anything in return, yet you can't help but want to give them all the love in the world. I can't believe how intense my love will be for my own children someday but i can only imagine what it will be like. I love these little people with my whole life, they are by far the most fun friends i will ever have.
