I’m an Aunt!

i haven’t met him yet, but i already love him. is that possible? can i feel such protection, care, and emotion for a little man i’ve never held in my arms?

he and i, we introduced ourselves over the phone the first few hours after he took a breath. i declared my love to him for the first time and he responded with emotional tears (or maybe those were just hungry… pooping… or sleepy tears… i wasn’t quite sure) regardless, i know he heard me.

kellen paul sornson, i know that though there’s a lot of new stuff happening all around you right now, there is someone 1,854 miles away from you who will try her best to come home to see you soon. i’ll tell you face to face how thankful i am the world now contains you and that things will never be the same because you are here.
