This evening around 5:00 P.M. my husband and I recieved a phone call from our fourteen year old nephew. He called to tell us that today he bowled his first 300 game ever.
Now it’s not world peace or as exciting as the first time you got laid, but to him it was “awsome” news. Because it made him so happy and we love him so much it made it pretty awsome for us too.
Isn’t amazing how one persons happiness can affect you? I was laying down trying to take a nap when he called. I had the “I’m freezing my nipples off and I feel cranky” blues, but the minute I heard his excitement I was thrilled. I guess the best part is that whenever something happens in his life he calls us. That we know that he knows we’re there for him to celebrate the victories, cry about the loss and get pissed off about the hassels with him. In a time when so many kids have nobody, it feels good to be that special aunt. The one he calls, loves to spend the weekend with and isn’t afraid to talk too. I wish everybody had a nephew like mine, I get ten times the joy from him then he gets from me.
