I'm going to get straight to the point, therefore this post might not be as long as the others. I recently became an uncle to one of cousin sister's newborn. My niece is one of the most beautiful looking baby out there. She's got rosey cheeks, eye lashes that make other eye-lashes look bad and her eyes...oh damn her eyes are like two black pearl-diamonds (I know pearl-diamonds don't exist but they do now). I can't imagine what it must have felt like for them to see and hold their child (obviously exciting and an huge sense of love), but for me it was the most exciting moment of my life. I looked at her and it brought a smile to my face. Just talking about her to my friends puts smiles on my face.
I got to hold her and bond with her...you know...uncle-niece bonding. We talked...well mostly I did but I'm sure she understood. We talked about life, some of the things life has to offer. You know general stuff like that. And Yes...we did have the no-boys talk. I think we had a mutual understanding. And then I feel deep into her pearl-diamond eyes and started to realize on what my responsibilities are...as an uncle. I looked at my current uncle relationship and found out that I am pretty much friends with him. I feel like I can go up to him and tell him about anything, let it be money problems, girl problems, and just normal general stuff our generation tend to tell our closest friends first. And that's how I want to be with my niece. I want to be the "Cool" uncle. The one who brings like candy and other cool stuff every time I come over. I can be that uncle. I know I can......ya...I'm gonna be a cool uncle.
Ponder: When was the last time you sat down and thought about something and smiled?
