I am going to do this post a little differently than normal. Instead of writing about the session I had with Sawyer and his family at Meadowbrook Park, I am going to write him a letter. I mean, he is my super cute nephew and all. Here goes nothing..
I fell in love with you the first time I saw your little dimpled chin. Meeting you hours after you took your first breathe. I held you in my arms and stared into your little gray eyes and fell in love. Loving you even more the first time I heard you say that you “wuv me too”. I snuggled you up as we watched dinosaurs on Netflix. Kissing you good night when I tucked you into bed the nights I watched you. I snuck out of your room when you finally fell asleep. Peeking my head into your door as you slept in your crib.
You are a lucky one my sweet boy. You have the best cousins in the world. Strongest parents placed on this earth and a family that will always have your back. We celebrate all your big moments together and spend holidays surrounding you with love. There is not a day that will go by that you will not know what it feels like to be loved. To be cherished. To feel like you belong.
So here is my advice to you. Be strong. Never let anyone tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are. Your family will always be there right behind you to pick you up when you fall. Remember that you are never alone in this world. You are blessed with one of the best families life can offer you. There will always be someone there to hold your hand when life gets hard. To dust you off when you fall. And to hold you when it seems like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.
So remember little boy. You are loved. You are cherished. And you will never be alone.
Love your auntie Camille.
