I haven’t written an
entry for a while as I’ve been concentrating on getting better, and I’ve also
been in a bit of an emotional well and found it hard to write. Though things
are improving slowly but surely.
So, on my return to
the blog – I present you with a funny story about our nephew.
My mother-in-law was
explaining our family tree to our nephew (he is five years old). She started
with herself and my father-in-law as Grandma and Pop, and then had two branches
down to Kirby and my sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law had a
line to her husband (our nephew’s Mum and Dad) and from there a line dropped
down to our nephew.
That all made sense to
him.
Then my mother-in-law
drew a line from Kirby to me (as Uncle and Aunty) and explained that we don’t
have any children.
I can imagine my
nephew as he stood there, rather indignantly, and stated “They DO have children
– they have ME!”
He is a precious,
precious little boy and I couldn’t love him more if he was my own son.

That's adorable! And so true too. You do have him. And clearly, he feels strongly that he has you too.
We certainly do have him - yesterday we had so much fun flying paper planes in the park. I didn't want him to go home!!
I am the son of the COYNE family. I'm going through alot of mixed emotions right now. Question: Are you a lefty?
Hi Jay - I've published your comment, but I don't actually know what you mean. Could you please give me more detail?
