To my nephew Issiah,
To my baby nephew Issiah,
I was only 23 when you were born - a first time mom myself, and busy with your cousin Ryleigh.
My days were hectic and the responsibilities of being a mom were overwhelming. All the same,
meeting you was the calm in my storm. You were such a happy and peaceful baby, and I am so
thankfulthat I've been blessed with the chance to watch you and Ryleigh grow and learn together.
When I look at you too, I see an infinite number of possibilities. I can’t wait for you both explore
the world each day. I’m sure there will be laughing (and sometimes crying) at the things that you
discover. Slowly you two will evolve into the person that you will be forever. As of right now,
Ryleigh is 2 1/2 months and you are only 1 month old. Every time that I see you, and I marvel
at how much you've changed since the first time that I held you. As I continue to help you and
watch you grow, I can't help but wish for you to stay this young forever, not 1 month but young
and innocent. The passing of time will inevitably mold you into a responsible and thoughtful
young man. I hope you will hold onto that carefree innocence for as long as you possibly can.
I can’t help but to think about your relationship with Ryleigh. Will you be friends, brothers,
will you protect one another, and encourage each other to do better and be better. I hope to
have you around Ryleigh always, to play and explore this world together. I promise I will
value and help this relationship along the way and to always protect it. You two are cousins,
but the relationship is meant to be deeper than that.
