My First Love-Meet the Mutton


My nephew is the most amazing creature I have yet to meet. He is so inquisitive, inspiring, and nurturing all at the same time. He is just a baby yet he places so many rolls. He needs care and to be filled with love by another human. One that can be so selfless ro give him their own life. I look at him with so much respect. Through him I know what true honest love is. I know when I look at him that I feel love. For the first time I can say that I know what love is….I feel it but I see it with him as well. It’s like colors everywhere. Each color shows an emotion for him. It may seem weird to put it like that but I see and feel my love for him. I wanna be like him. I wanna have that look that he has in his eyes…..The honesty behind them is pure and short. Hopefully I can help him to maintain that about himself. It’s a characteristic we all come with but is lost in all the shuffle. As he needs and depends on the care of others, he to can be a care giver to the very dear one who provides for him. I lay in pain while my eyes tear up from the scratches my contacts gave to my cornia’s…..and he rubs my arm up and down. It feels just as comforting as the touch of my mother’s hand. He proceeds to say, “Are you ok?” Though I am in pain, suddenly it’s not so bad. So I reply with a smile and “I’m ok”. I am crying inside with joy. He just amazes me over and over. I never knew a child could be so much more grown up than have of adults living today.
