My first true love…. My Baby, what can I say about you? Frankie, you came into my life early Friday morning, November 28, 1997. You are my first nephew. I saw you for the first time, and I was so scared to hold you. You were so small and only weighed 5 lbs 3 oz. When I held you that first time at St. Margaret hospital, I knew that day that we would have a special bond for the rest of our lives. I took you as if you were my own. I was only 20 at the time, but I knew that you needed me. I slept with you from the first day you came to live with us. I was the one that got up in the middle of the night to feed you and change you and to still your cries. I did it whole-heartedly. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and see you nestled asleep in your crib and just had to have you next to me. We would sleep cheek to cheek, and I loved every minute of it. The best part was feeling your little hand caress my face in the morning when I awoke. We have shared so many memories the past 7 years: from learning to walk to learning to read, singing Italian songs together, seeing Barney in person, going to the zoo, staying out way past your bedtime, fossil treasure hunting in Calumet Park, taking you to Pre-school and Bible-School, making crafts, playing board games & video games, pulling out your first tooth, being the ring bearer at my wedding, going on waterslides together, teaching you songs in the car, telling you bedtime stories & calming you after nightmares, and most of all….watching you grow into a wonderful and amazing human being. You are just the greatest thing that could have possibly ever happen to me. You were the one that taught me unconditional love. You were the one that has made me who I am today. You are just so perfect and intelligent. I just hope that when Uncle John and I finally have a baby, that your “brother or sister” would be just like you! You will always be MY BABY!
