A Little Auntie Time

 Sometimes in life the best things happen in a blink of an eye when you least expect it to.  Like when you truly live in the moment and you realize you are making a life time memory.  I got to spend a few hours with my nephew this weekend.  It's hard being an aunt to only one nephew who lives 12 hours away.  It's really hard.... in my mind I want to be that aunt that's always around, that gets to go to sporting events for Noah as he grows up.  I want to be that aunt that doesn't have to be reintroduced once or twice a year that I see my nephew.  When my brother and sister in law moved it placed a great hurt in my life, because I knew that the greatest gift for me (time) would be taken away.  So when they come back and visit I have learn to adjust and take in the moments knowing that they will be short.  I was so thankful that God gave me some time alone with my nephew this weekend, because though the time was short, I made new memories that I can now cling to until the next time I get to hold and hug my buddy bear again.  

Take time to be silly, cherish the moments, cling to them when life get's hard, and love the joy you are given today....
