My first nephew

Dear Sterling,

We are anxiously awaiting your arrival. So many dreams about you are being dreamt. Being the first one in our family to have children, I am thrilled that I will get to be an Aunt finally. You are being born into a family full of love. You have a large family which includes three cousins. Matthew has been asking for cousins for sometime now. Will and you will be close in age. That could get you two into trouble one day. Grace will love being the girl cousin. We can't wait for family holidays so you can all play together, sit at the little kids table, and carry on our traditions.

You my nephew - picked an awesome mother. She is dreaming great dreams for you. She wants you to chase your own dreams and loves you so much. She is one strong lady and is preparing for your arrival. She looks at baby pictures and says, I wonder what Sterling will look like. Will he have blond hair and chubby cheeks.

You my nephew are destined for great things.

"Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world."-- Kate Douglas Wiggin

And you Sterling have one mother that is beautiful, artistic, funny, athletic, loving, smart, and makes her life decisions because of you. Because you are her heart, her future and her legacy into all future generations - of this beautiful world.
