When I first met Melanie, she was a teenager. She talked to me about boys. In the 14 years since then, she has become a woman, my sister, a wife and now...a mother. And she is still talking to me about boys — one in particular:
He is the prettiest baby I have ever seen. I will tell him this his whole life and it will embarrass him when he gets older, but I won't care because I am his aunt and I am embarrassing. I also plan to tell his girlfriends and the other guys at soccer.
