I'm sorry I wasn't all that pleased about
your arrival. You just sort of sprung up on everyone.
Please know that you were never unwanted...you were
just a surprise. I was at the peak of my antsy teen
age and stressed about school work and friendship
problems. I didn't want family problems piled on
too. When my brother came home that night, I was
angry. How could he have been so careless? We all
thought he was better than that. I was angry because
all this had happened at the wrong time. And I took
it out on him, and said things I really shouldn't
have. But this isn't about him. This is about
you. You left us all in shock that day. There was a
new family member added on, and it'd take time to
adjust to it. And adjust we did. Any shock or bad
feelings we had towards you immediately turned to awe
and that adorable smile of yours has been etched into
everyone's hearts ever since. Eli you're the
cutest baby I've ever seen, and I'm so proud
to be your Aunty. It took time for me to warm up to
you, but I just want you to know, you've
certainly melted my heart.
