This is my one and only niece,
Jordyn. My sister Shannon's daughter. When she was little, she was '
Jordy' and for me, has somehow morphed into 'George' or 'Georgie'. It's funny about familial, spiritual, unforced connections- how real they can sometimes be. You see, I have been living miles away in New York since
Jordyn was born (she is in Illinois with my sister), but from the moment this little girl and I met, every time I could go to Illinois to visit her or she would come to NY to visit me- god even when she was two- we have always been
huggers and lovers of each other and just connected like little
soulmates. I could sit and tell her stories or listen to her stories, even when she was as little as 5, and we have always understood each other. She is a giggler and would tell stories while pacing and laughing and falling down, so expressive. She is so sweet and so compassionate that she inspires me. She is so sensitive-just like me too. People used to always tell her growing up that she looked like me and I've always thought "oh man, don't let me be like her wild "Aunt Jenny' from the Brady Bunch!"
haha. She has told me in the past that I have inspired her- and the wonderful thing that she may not know is that she inspires me. When I think of her, I think about becoming a better woman in the world to set a good example for her. I have both succeeded and failed miserably, at times, with this. I am still working on this all the time. But I am so glad she is in my life, because it really does help me move forward in the world. Think about the little, younger people in your life. Get to know them more if you don't. Hear their ideas, their
views on the world. Be inspired by them- teach them things, but also let them teach you things. These are gifts, you know. These little people that come into your life, like an automatic friend forever. I miss her so much. I love you my sweet Georgie Pie!
