I never realize how far away I live until I get a long distance call from one of you kiddos. You tell me about the cute boy you met, or the dress you're wearing to the dance; you tell me about church and school, and what's been troubling you this week. And when you do I just can't help but tear up, because I miss you so dang much!
I want to help you all mend everything that's broken.
I want to help you remember the all good times we've had.
I want to be a confidante for each of you.
I want to be there when you discover your talents.
I want to hold your hands as you go through troubling times.
I want to party with you when you find something to celebrate.
I want to help you make your big decisions.
I want to help you find your testimony.
I want to be in all your pictures.
But most of all I want to see all of you smile :)
...And I can't help but feel like if only I had taken the time to do those things when I was there, I wouldn't be feeling the way that I am now.
I want to tell you how one of a kind you really are, but it's just not the same on a long distance call. I'm sorry if I ever took you for granted, but trust me- I think about you every day that I'm here. I love to watch you grow, and am so proud of all the things you are accomplishing. Can't wait to see you you each again soon,
Auntie Paris loves you!!!
