Mase-face, my champion of love
My little man.
Never knew I had it in me to love such a small person, a new person in my life, so deeply and unconditionally. I look forward to seeing him, and worry when he’s getting too big– that I am missing parts, important parts, of his life. Amazing how a tiny body has the power to hypnotize a room of adults- grandparents and teenage boys alike. One look into his sweet face, one brush of that baby skin on your cheek .. that’s all it takes, and soon you’re holding him, kissing him, talking to him in another language, whispering, getting all up close and personal, acting like a completely different person. Powerful, I tell you.
Suppose if Mason could talk and asked me to do him a favor, I’d have no choice but to answer: yes, anything, Mase, anything at all. I am that much in love, that much. From the minute he came into this world (and I’ll always remember that moment like it was yesterday; that crazy, unforgettable moment), I was rendered helpless to his will.
Looking so forward to my years as auntie…
He’s so cute!
I am sooooo with you on that. I’m really grateful that I got to be an aunt for a long time before I became a mom. When Marissa came along, we all wondered what we ever did or talked about before she was born. They’re just miraculous little creatures
It’s crazy how the heart allows us to love that much without the expectation of receiving it back.
