Subject: Aunt nella letter for Jayden
Dear Jay,
It pretty much seems like yesterday that my phone rang and my brother told me he won the
lottery. I could hear in his voice a level of excitement that made me believe what he was
saying was real. Still I questioned him, “what lottery?” His deep laugh came across the
phone as he said, “the Kelso baby lottery!” In that moment our whole family changed. My
brother was soon to be a dad and I was going to be an Aunt. I vowed in that moment I would
be the best aunt ever and should anything ever happen to him, I would love you and be
there for you like you were my own.
You see, I made that vow never knowing I would have to make good on it. Never knowing
what was in store for you, and the adversities you’d face way too young in life.
But no matter what, you always kept moving forward. Living, learning, making your own
path. You see, There is a strength that lies within you that has always allowed you to take
on what faces you, things even adults would find unbearable.

I can help but smile when is see you. You might not know this, but you inherited the ability
to give the best hugs and sing unapologetically loud in the shower. And every time I hear
you. I smile from ear to ear and am so thankful you are mine.
Life is crazy. We never really know where this road in front of us might lead. And just when
you think you have it figured out, there are speed bumps, curves and forks in the road. But
no matter the obstacles you have family. You have me. And I will be there for you always.
To say that I am proud of you would be an understatement. You are a light that shines so
bright in my life and I can’t imagine it without you. Know today and all days that I love you
with all my heart and will be here for you always.
With all my love forever.
Aunt Nella
