Yesterday my nephew Dylan turned 5 years old and I'm in awe of how fast he's growing. I remember when I found out my sister-in-law J'nyne was pregnant and was actually due the same week of my college graduation (man I'm getting old). I was so mad! Because 1. my brother wouldn't be able to attend and 2. he was stealing my thunder! 2005 was suppose to be my year; you know graduating from school, landing a real job BEFORE I even graduated, moving to a new state and all but oh no there goes Dean expecting his first baby AND getting married two months later. I told him I planned on fainting as I walked down the isle at his wedding as payback.
Anyway I could never forget when I got the news that he was born. Daddy and I just checked into our hotel in Tampa (I was looking for an apartment for my big move) when I heard Dylan James Bernard was born. My heart swelled with so much pride and love and suddenly all the jealousy and selfish feelings vanished.
Even though he lives in a different state and I only see him a few times a year that doesn't stop the love that continues to grow in my heart. It's so funny to see him develop his own little personality, interests, and hobbies. I also secretly snicker and giggle at all the trouble he causes my brother Dean...lol. I can't wait to see Dyaln and his sisters this August (cross your fingers that I'll get the time off from work) and definitely in November when they come up for Thanksgiving.
Happy Birthday Dylan Titi Nicki loves you!
