I want to say that there is no more beautiful love than when your nephew tells you for the first time:
“I love you, Aunt,”
in the most genuine way possible.

There is something in that small voice that disarms you,
that cleanses you,
that reminds you that love can be simple and absolute.

I don’t think I had ever felt so deeply in the “aunt stage” of my life.
And what a luminous place that is.
