Just a little something......

[Saphra]

I just got off work, and walked into the spare bedroom where the computer is, and on the bed, under a pink croshaed (spelled wrong) blanket is this sweet little angel, my 2 y/o neice Faela. I keep looking at her, so small, so innocent, and I want to take her in my arms and protect her from the world. But I know that I can't.
Here she sleeps, not even two feet away, a small smile on her lips, as if her dreams are just too sweet. I started to cry, watching her sleep, because I know how cruel the world can be, and I don't want anything to ever hurt her. How do you protect someone from something like that?
I know I'm rambling, probably the sleep depravation, but I feel like I'm going to burst. She isn't even my child, and yet I love her so much, as if she was my daughter. When I take her out, and people ask me if she is mine, I want to grab her up, hug her tight and tell them "Yes, yes she is."
I see her sweet angelic face, black eyelashes set against ivory skin, and think that this has to be the most beautiful little child in the world.
I think I feel this way, because I don't want children, and this is the closest I will get to having my own.
Am I crazy? Probably!!!

NO - your not crazy!
She is your child. Just as my children belong to thier aunts. Just as every child belongs to each and every one of us.
We all want to protect children. Espically those that we are close to, and not just by family ties either. The world is a scary place - no doubt.
I hope you continue to develop the relationship with your niece. All children at sometime or another need adults to turn to. Sometimes the parents just aren't the ones they need.
Be there for her and you can watch a wonderous world unfold. Probably one that you once knew and have forgetten about.
Be there for her because one day she will need you.
Be there for her because you love her. Never be afraid to show that love - for one day it will be returned.:heartthro

Nope, not crazy....not at all. This is what makes the world go round. Love in all its forms. She needs you to be a part of her life to grow up strong and well. :)

[Siarlas]

definately not crazy. I get that feeling quite often. not just when I look at my own little angel fast asleep, but when I see any angel... I wanna take them all away to somewhere nice and happy

[Faery-Wings]

No not crazy either, IMO. I feel that way about my kids, so much that it hurts. And I have a few others kids that I feel almost the same about, like my goddaughter. I love her like my own.

Your nice is very lucky to have someone like you around. :)

Witchy- that is a great philosophy!

[WynterWynd]

Nope , not crazy!! I feel that way still when I watch mine sleeping or when I see any little one in the store or at school.:)

[MidnightSun]

Thats not crazy at all. This is a bit different, in that I have no neices or nephews yet..but I feel the same about my cousins. They are so young and so...innocent, ya know? It breaks my heart when they are upset about things they shouldn't even have to be dealing with at their age *sigh*

YOU MADE ME CRY!!!!


My own precious niece is a Woman Grown, beautiful, smart, loving & funny; someone to be very proud of. I remember watching her as a sweet baby girl, waving her casts in the air, giggling and cooing with innocent charm, speaking not words, but understood none the less. I remember her first steps, her first falls, her first song. (A comercial ditty...I can still hear her singing it.) I remember her tormenting her big brother, blue blue eyes snapping with wicked mirth. I remember the way her arms felt when they went around my neck, and her sweet scent. I remember thinking the same thoughts as you....

So, My Very Own Niece, if you're crazy, then so am I.....
