I Can't Get Enough

When one is an addict (me), it causes strain in almost every aspect of one's life.
And, that is to be expected.
If someone tells me that they can't trust me, that is valid.
If someone tells me that I've hurt them, I don't get to tell them that I haven't.
It doesn't matter that my addiction is a process addiction, as opposed to a chemical addiction.
The consequences are the same.
It has been quite some time since my brother, Brandon, and I have had a good relationship.

However, recently he has been reaching out a lot and asking me if I'd like to spend time with my nephews.
I would be lying if I said that I am not brought to tears every single time.
His beautiful wife, Carrie, has always continued to try to make sure there is a bond between my nephews and I.
But to have Brandon doing it... it is one of the most tangibly amazing feelings in the world.

Earlier this week, he called to ask if I could help him on Sunday.
The answer will never be, "No."
FYI.

I cannot get enough of these babies.
I know they are toddlers now, but they'll always be babies to Auntie!
I am eternally grateful that Brandon trusts me with his boys.
