My Real First Touching Moment as an Auntie

I had my nephew Tristan the whole weekend and usually when he stays over with us he and I always have a little Tata and Tristan time. I try to see how he did through out the week at home and school, he tells me about moments with him and his brother that week, you know catch up and QT time. This weekend we didn't have our time until now and I love it so much it made me cry.

Ok Ok well I called down to spend time with me and he was just poutting around and wanted to go upstairs to play with his uncles. Then he said to me, "Why do you want me down here anyways?" and I told him I just wanted to spend some time with him before he goes home and he is still poutting and saying he wants to go upstairs. So I let him go because I know he is getting older and he wants to hang with his uncles to play games and watch sports but it scared me for a minute thinking he won't care about not having our time or my feelings.

I thought wrong. I don't know how he realized I was hurt and a little sad when he went upstairs but when he came back down to get something I was sitting at the corner of my bed, watching TV and brushing my hair, he comes up to me hugs me and says, "Sorry Tata for hurting your feelings, I just wanted to play the game. Do you want to come upstairs to play with us or do you just want me to watch TV with you and talk? I love you tata." and gives me my Incredible Hulk Hug. Then I just started crying because I was so touched. When he said that made me feel like I am doing my job to be the auntie they know loves them unconditionally. He knows I love him and now I know he know I love him.

Well I have to go he is waiting for me to play Wii with him.
