Aunt B is probably my favorite nickname. Ive had plenty and each one represents people or the places that I acquired it. Breezer(band members of my favorite band..Andrew Brown Band), BreezeO(from the bag boys while I worked at Ingles), Brez(close friends)..and the list goes on. But my all time favorite is Aunt B. Those words come from the most precious boys in the whole wide world. My NEPHEWS!!! If you are an Aunt you completely understand. I never knew how much love could be possible and come from my heart. It beats the most when I am around these little guys. Lathan was my first nephew. I remember the first time I saw him. I cried my eyes out. I couldn't believe how beautiful he was and how long I had been waiting for him. We connected the first time I held him. I told him that I was Aunt B and would give him anything he wanted. The privilege of being an Aunt is the best gift ever. When Lathan was only a few weeks old, I was holding him and he raised his head up(which I knew he was going to be a strong genius of a boy) and planted a hug kiss on my cheek. My mom got a picture of this huge event and I will always cherish that picture. Three years later Kasen was born. I was scared that I wouldn't have enough love to give to Kasen as I had Lathan. Boy was I wrong. The two are very different but I love them both sooooo much. Kasen takes awhile to warm back up with you each time I see him, but he is the funniest kid I know. He has a great sense of humor and loves to wrestle. He makes me feel special when he wants to spend time with me and says my name. The best gift given to me to give the boys was a bib that said ( I love Aunt Breeze)!! Two years later Maddox was born. Again I was scared that there would not be enough love to give. My heart burst out with love when he was born. He had a hard journey getting here but he overflows my heart with his cuddliness!! He is such a cuddlier and his smile will melt your heart. I have had the privilege of getting to keep him several times at an early age. I didn't know I could be that responsible to watch something so precious.
What Ive learned the most with these 3 wonderful nephews is....LOVE is ever flowing!!! That they are each so different but has the same strings wrapped around my heart equally. Lathan has got to spend the night at my house several times and Kasen will be joining our adventures this summer. I can't wait till all 3 will be begging to be at Aunt B's house. Junk food, games, toys, and always a trip to walmart will be for sure in our plans. These little guys make me feel so special and that I could do anything. I love them so much and realize that when they are around, my heart beats the most. God feels that way with each one of us. That even though we are all so different, He wants to spend time with each of us and create dreams and adventures. I want my heart to beat most of all when I am in the presence of my Creator. To feel special and to know I was created for a purpose that I can only fulfil. I hope this summer gives clues and directions of how to gain that. This summer will be full of adventures with my nephews, friends, and in my times alone with my creator and friend. I can hear the beats getting faster just thinking about it!
