The Joy of Unexpected Love: How My Niece Changed My Perspective on Family

My niece. She's almost 3 and she's opened up a part of me that I never new existed. Before she was conceived, I have no issues with kids but I also didn't care about them. At all. I didn't think babies were cut and I didn't want to be around anyone younger than like 7. But then she was born and this fire was lit inside of me. When I got the message that she was born (I live a few hours away from my sister who had her) I cried. It was my first time crying of happiness. Since then, anything she does makes me happy. She's the only person I truly believe I'd give my life for.
