This past week has been an emotionally draining week. My sweet niece was in the ICU for 3 1/2 days, then in the hospital for another 2 1/2. She's home now and resting, but still not completely out of the woods.
My niece and I are very close, we always have been. When she was born I took a week off of work and drove 8 hours to stay with their family. I had an enjoyable week of playing with my nephew and helping with the new baby. Later I moved closer to them and would spend a large chunk of my time at their house. She lives 3 states away now, but comes to stay with me every summer for a week or two. I cherish our time together. I know that one of these days she'll out grow this tradition (she's 16 now), but I hope it's not for another year or two at least.
I love my niece to pieces. She means the world to me. I hope that my daughters become amazing young women, just like her. She is kind, compassionate, musically and artistically talented, she is funny, loving, spiritual, and just an all round amazing human being.
