Becoming an aunt has been the best thing to happen in my life this year. My sister and her husband are doing an amazing job raising Jack and inspire me so much

I am so grateful I get to be part of his life and see him grow up since I moved out here

This lil nugget has changed my perspective on the hardest days and gives me purpose

I was gifted with the incredible responsibility of being his aunt and his God mother, two titles I won’t take lightly in his life

I could cry as I write this but he’s truly been the sunshine in my life

I’ve been facing a lot of darkness lately, some things I haven’t been able to share here have really weighed on me and just in general there have been struggles through big adjustments in my life and addressing my health needs

I am so grateful for this life through all of it though

And he is my reminder to keep going every day because it’s the little things that mean the most

Truly having him smile or grab my finger or laugh has to be one of the most grounding experiences because you don’t want to be anywhere else but the present moment

The amount of love I have for him fills so much of my heart and only deepens my lifelong desire to one day be a mom too

I feel the focus of my life has been ever evolving but I love that the older I get the more the family grows and reminds us to soak in every moment
