I just waved good bye to Lukey The Wonder Nephew and I have to tell you, he is as amazing and personable as ever. Oh Reader, he melts my neurotic little heart.
The Friday before Labor Day I unexpectedly learned that work would be closing early. Suddenly an unprecedented, wondrous thought occurred to me- I was free to go to Sissy's house and visit with her and that gorgeous little baby. I was mere minutes away! It was as feasible and simple as that.
This was the moment when it finally dawned on me: we had moved to Boston.
I walked into Sissy's house and there was my Godson, sprawled out in an impossibly adorable position. He looked up at me like he always does, with that split second of mischievous recognition flashing across his enormous eyes, as if to say oh, it's you.
These days when he laughs he shows off four itty bitty baby front teeth in addition to his bottom two. He is charming, sweet smelling, infinitely entertaining and ever evolving. The latter never fails to amaze me.
People keep asking why I left New York after eight years. Inevitably, my answer always boils down to Luke David, the most perfectly wonderful little person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Auntie adores you, forever and ever. xoxo
