I remember when I received the phone call my freshman year in college when I learned I was an auntie for the first time. I ran shouting through my dorm hallway with jubilation. I now have three nephews and one niece, the youngest of which just turned 21 this week, as she was on a study-abroad trip to Spain. I don't think I'll be getting any new nephews/nieces, but I love the ones I have so much and burst with pride at their accomplishments (and mourn with them during their hard times). I think being an uncle or aunt is a very special privilege. Congrats, Cole (and to your sister’s family).
