If you speak to anyone who knows me, they might not know about the emotional struggles I have, but they will undoubtedly be able to tell you all about the love I have for my two dear nephews. It’s hard for anyone not to know really – they are my pride and joy.
As cliché as it sounds, I really did not know the possibility to love unconditionally until these cherubs came into my life. Of course they have their testing moments, but for the most part they bring absolute joy of the purest form into my life.
The last few weeks, well few months I guess really, have been challenging – like everyone, I’ve had my ups and downs and rode the rollercoaster of pandemic/lockdown emotions. This last week in particular has been full of a lot of tears; some explainable, some not so much.
But, coming home to visit my munchkins has just been bliss. I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m tired. But their love and pure innocence just reminds me of the good in my life. For all the self doubt and confidence struggles, they show me to just love. No conditions. No fears. No regrets. Just live and love.
And it’s really that simplicity that seems to elude me, hell all of us a lot of the time.
