A day to remember...

Christopher and me.

A day that I never forget is when my nephew was born.

His mother, my sister, is the youngest of my family and I still remember when she was born. She was pretty and delicate, and to me she looked like a piece of glass, like a treasure that I had to take care. She showed me a new world, a world in which existed defenseless beings, it was a world unknown to me when I was 3 - 4 years old.

When my sister became pregnant, she was 15 years old, and I felt that part of my life was broken. I didn't know what to say, to do, to think, I even felt that I failed as big sister and that my sister's life was finished. But these feelings and thoughts began to disappear, because my mother stayed with us throughout the process. However, still today I can say that I feel a little guilty for that situation...

Christopher.

Christopher was born on 9th November in 2011. I remember that day I was together to my sister, but I didn't see my nephew until next day. When I meet him all the thoughts and feelings that I kept until that moment disappeared completely. This was a strange situation: I can remember when my sister was born, and now she was giving birth to my nephew...

Mother and son.

Nowadays, Christopher has become the best company, he's an unconditional partner... The problem is he doesn't leave me to study, he calls me "mum" every 5 min and he wants to do all the things that I do. So, I should wait until he goes to bed to can to study. But, it isn't all bad!!!! This short time has been great, since he was a baby and he was with me while I studied on Christmas until today that he looks excited to learn, to know, to enjoy.... Each time that he smiles, he makes me happy.
