My nephew, K, (pictured above at age 5 holding Reghan at 4 days) was baptized yesterday at our church. He is now eleven years old and is all boy. K lives, breathes, eats and dreams Star Wars! He is highly intelligent and wise beyond his years. K and I have always had a special relationship. I was his primary babysitter from birth. Everywhere I went....K followed. I think my entire paycheck during college went to buying things for K! He has always been my buddy.
K has been through a lot of "junk" in his short life. More than any kid should have to endure. It has been amazing to watch as K gets older that the world and his experiences have not hardened his heart. He is a sweet boy. His heart is devoted to God and His plan for K's life. His heart is still soft. K this a thinker and every question he asks has a reason behind it. The kind of kid that has always chosen his words very carefully.
I am beyond words thankful for K and that I am lucky enough to get to watch him become a teenager and adult. I know God has BIG plans for K. Watching K go through the waters of baptism yesterday reminded me that all of the Saints and Angles in Heaven (including our Lord) were rejoicing with us! I am one proud Auntie!!

Such a good post Laurie! All kids need a great aunt like you. And I think there is something special about that first one in our lives. Glad you still have that bond with Kash and I pray that you are able to keep it up and help him thru his teenage years.
