June 16th is my niece's birthday and I hope it's the best for her. I haven't gotten to see her in a very long time. I was 11 years old when she was born and I doubt she has any idea how much I loved her. As a young girl I remember her taking up most of the space in my diary,hating the days I didn't get to see her. I'm not sure at that time she ever felt like a niece,more like a little sister or maybe even my own baby at times. Sure there were times as she got older I could have pinch her nose off but regardless of the miles that are between us,in my heart there will always be a bond between us time will not break. She is a grown woman now that has made many proud and I am no exception. I can still see that little curly haired girl with the pigtails no matter how many birthday's she has. Love you and miss you.
