You changed me. In every way, you continuously make me become a better person. You are young, but you are mighty. And in your little pitter-patter of foot steps running through the house, my heart grows boundlessly.

From the first time I held each of you, I knew that being an aunt would be the best title I could ever have. I have spent time with each of you, at an incredibly young age, talking to you about the future- about your future. I have such big dreams for you, that I hope you will one day share in. I love you so much that my heart hurts. I love that you look forward to spending time with me in the way that I do you. And I know that you have healed me in ways that you will never understand. But I am better because of you.

My entire life, I wanted to be a mother. And soon after I lost my first chance at that, your mommy found out she was going to have one of you. It was through you I made peace with my past, and with my future. And it was through you growing into a beautiful blue eyed boy that I learned to love again. Now, having three amazing, smart, handsome little boys to love, I am over the moon excited to be part of your life.

I promise to always be your ice cream and doughnut partner. I promise to kiss all your boo-boos. To give you all that I can, always. To cry with you when there is nothing I can do. I promise to give you the love of a second mother. And to catch you when you fall. To be your biggest cheer leader, no matter the occasion. I promise to help you in school when I can. And to help you talk to your mom when you get bad grades. I promise to always have a room ready for you at my house. And to always welcome you with chocolate milk. I promise to love who ever you love, and to welcome that person into the family with the joy of a prodigal child. But most of all I promise to always be your person- your best friend. You could never do anything to make me lose my love for you.

Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for giving me that special bond, that no one else has with you. You have given me such great joy, one that I could never replace.

You are perfect, my sweet little boys.

Love,

Kayla
