Scrolling through your Facebook feed on any given day you'll find articles written for nieces, about what it means to have a niece, and all the things we'll do for them. But what about the nephews? We tend to forget about those little boys who sneak their way into our hearts with their dimples and Nerf guns. So let's take a moment to appreciate those two foot nothing little boys.

To my sweet nephew,

I still remember the day your mommy told me she was going to have you. I can't lie, I was scared. I didn't know how I was going to be able to share my love with another little human. I thought your sister was getting every ounce of love that was in me. Oh lord was I wrong. The day you were born, I can still remember holding you in my arms and in that moment I realized that there's no such thing as not enough love.

Over the past two years, I've gotten to watch you grow taller, smarter, stronger, and into a personality that I adore. And as the years go on I know that I will watch you grow in all these ways and many more. But I need you to remember few things:

You will always be my little man.

You had my heart from the moment I met you and there's nothing that will change that. When you're bigger and you think you're too cool to be seen with your auntie, remember I have all the embarrassing naked bathtub photos and I'll whip em out.

I'll always be in your corner.

Whenever you're fighting with your parents or your friends remember that I'll always be on your side. As far as your parents go, you know they have your best interest in mind but that doesn't mean you can't disagree with what they have to say. And for friends, they'll come, they'll go but you've always got me and I promise we can have more fun and get into more trouble together than you could with any of your friends.

I hope you always get excited when you see me because I get excited when I see you.

We won't be able to see or talk to each other every day, but when we do it won't just be on holidays or special family events. I'll call you on the days that I see a cute little boy walking down the street that reminds me of you. I'll take you out of school on a random day just to spend some time with you. We'll both be busy, but I'll make the time for you.

I love you my sweet boy and I couldn't have asked for a better nephew to call mine.

You're a blessing, one of the best kind.

Love,

Your favorite aunt
