So, I've been an "aunt" before. My "sister" has a baby boy and is pregnant with her second. My husband's friend has 4 girls and he considers them his "nieces" making them mine by default. But now it's official. My sister gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy at 12:34PM today. 6lb. 15oz. 20 in. long.
Seeing my father's face as he held his first grandson was just wonderful. 3 years before I was born he and my mother had a baby boy Robert. He passed away 2 days later due to many different organ failures. Then they had me (1990), my kid sister (1991), and my baby sister (1994). He's the last. The only boy in a family of 5 children. He has no namesake. I knew that this bothered him. But I think today, upon seeing his first (of hopefully many) grandchildren, he's moved past that. Hoping to just help raise this and any future grandchildren as best he can.
All this has given me an idea for a story. Not sure how well it will work out but I'll put pen to paper and see what comes out. Wish me luck!
