*For their open-mouth kisses when they're small
*For smiling when you play peek-a-boo
*For thinking you're so cool for taking them to get ice cream as they get older
*For never judging you based on looks, social status or job title
*For always being excited to see you
*For wanting to show you their latest drawing, school assignment or doll collection
*For giving you glimpses of Heaven when they sleep
*For melting your heart when they bring you a book and turn around to get situated just perfectly in your lap in order for story time
*For being ecstatic when you agree to have a slumber party on the living-room floor with them
And most importantly for me...
*For giving me someone to love, kiss and hug on while I'm wandering through this single/alone section of life
They keep my heart soft, thankful, positive and happy.
Thank Heaven for nieces and nephews.

I love my one and only nephew. He brightens my day every time I see him. He will stop whatever he is doing and run to me when I walk in to my parent's home and yell at the top of his lungs, "CRYSTAL! YOU ARE HERE!" And give me the biggest hug ever. Every time. Melts my shriveled up little heart. He's a handful, but I too love nieces and nephews. :)
