How love shaped and continues to shape.

This week my cousin (daughter of my Godmother) had her first child, a beautiful baby boy.

Watching my cousin bring life into this world brings back beautiful memories of meeting her for the first time when I was a little girl.

I was so excited but nervous holding my beautiful cousin for the first time! Her brother, Chris was beaming as he just held her moments prior!

The photo above was from the first time I held her. I’m blown away at the patience and love that my Godmother had when it came to having me and her son, Chris hold a newborn.

I cannot wait to fall in love with my cousin’s son the way I fell in love with her over thirty years ago when I held her for the first time. It’s such a beautiful gift to see the baby I adored and loved unconditionally become a Mom!

I’m so proud of her and the woman she has been and continues to become!
