Replying...
Intro. Lily, my sweet little niece, my own flesh and blood but so much more, you are the unexpected sunshine on the stormiest days of my life. You are the echo of laughter in a house that knows too much quiet, the vibrant splash of color in my otherwise muted existence. When I look at you, I see pure joy, uncomplicated hope, and a boundless capacity for wonder that I sometimes feel I've lost. You, with your bright eyes and even brighter spirit, are a constant reminder of the beauty that still exists in this often harsh world. You are my little confidante, my co-conspirator in silliness, and most importantly, my beloved family. And tonight, as the storm howls outside, it seems you need your Uncle/Auntie more than ever.

Lily
