Just wanted to share that yesterday I became an aunt, again! My sister gave birth to my newest niece, Jayla Taliyah, was born at 8:52 P.M. She weighs 5 pounds and 2 ounces. I haven't met her yet but I sure am excited. My sister has two boys who should make great big brothers. Every addition to the family is exciting but my joy for this baby comes because she will live close enough for me to spoil and see on a regular basis. My other niece, Bianca, is in Texas embarking on her graduate studies, her brother, Tre, is pursuing his Sophomore year, their baby sister, Zaria, is currently here visiting with me and my family. I rarely see them because of the distance. Zaria is 8 and I hadn't seen her in person since she was 18 months old. What a joy last night to hear her along with my sister's sons, Jeffrey and Jahlil hanging out in my basement playing video games, teasing each other, and wreaking havoc on the general cleanliness of my house. They had never met previously.
I grew up with all my immediate family living really close by. It never occurred to me that my family would be spread out all over the United States and that I wouldn't see them on a regular basis. That is my current reality and on many days, it really sucks. God has a way of bringing things full circle. The cousins are enjoying each other like they have played together all their lives and all is right in the world. I am thankful that God has blessed us with a healthy new addition to our family. I am sure Jayla will bring her own unique spark to our very colorful family.
In Diva Love,
PAM
