Dearest Nephew,
Words cannot begin to explain the pure happiness I felt when you came into the world. I thought it was impossible to love someone this much, I was happily wrong. Over the years you have grown in so many ways, you have grown big, strong and smart. You have grown kind and handsome. You have grown stubborn and creative.
Each and every time I see you, I get so excited for the time we get to spend together. I cherish our time together since it is so minimal. I only get to see you a couple months out of the year and you should know by now that each goodbye breaks my heart.
When your gone I miss your mischievous smile and giggles. I miss hearing the sounds of you sing-songily yelling my nickname, "Kay Kay." I miss your pure and optimistic view of the world, because sometimes I truly forget that you are still experiencing a lot of first as you are about to turn 7.
It is hard not having you home for your Birthday, it is hard knowing that you are thousands of miles away from us. There is one thing though that makes it worth it. Our reunions. When you come into my arms once more, a newer, bigger, and brighter boy each and every time. The letters I have written to you are countless by now.
I hope that one day you will look back and know that while we get you only for a smidge of the year, you are on my mind all year round.
With the utmost love and adornment,
Kay Kay
