I have many roles to fulfill in this life. I'm a daughter, sister, cousin, etc. However, when all three of my godchildren Will, Joseph, and Aviva call me Aunt Hannah, there is nothing in this world that brings me more joy. Recently, I went to Joseph and Aviva's birthday party. We were all vaccinated, and it felt so good to see everyone. It had been over two years, so I was in heaven.
The party was great. I was able to visit with my aunt who I rarely see which is always a blessing. Emily, my cousin, and I got some time to talk. Jacob, her husband, and I got the rare opportunity to sit down and have a meaningful conversation which was so sacred. I love when a good heart to heart conversation comes out of nowhere. Those conversations are a treasure!

I had planned to stay after the party so Joseph and Aviva could really get to know me. They were getting comfortable around me and then Covid hit. Joseph is five years old, so he remembered me and is also an energetic extrovert. On the other hand, Aviva is three and did not remember me. She needed some time to warm up to me but after a few hours, she definitely came around.
I got to play with them and complimented Joseph when he shared with Aviva. He would always respond to any compliment with, “thanks, Aunt Hannah”. We rode around their farm, and they wanted to show me their bouncy house. Joseph was so excited to show me everything he possibly could in one evening. There was nowhere I would have rather been than with those two kids. The evening ended with, “I love you, Aunt Hannah”. Who could beat that? Nobody.
Love,
Hannah!
