Undoubtedly one of my favorite feelings is when my nephew sees me.
I am crying right now at the deep understanding he has of my immense love for him.
The hugs.
The intensity of his interest when speaking to me.
The desire to be near me.
All the moments big and small, make me so proud as his Aunt, that he knows I love him.
That he can always climb onto my lap.
Can always ramble to a listening ear.
Can sit in cuddled-up silence.
Can call out for me to pay attention.
I suppose in realization, the deep connection I've always felt towards him - is partially rooted in our shared Aquarian demeanor.
I did not see that until just now.
Zeke.. and I .. the only ones in our family born in this season.
Selfishly - I am proud that I can be to him what I longed for
