he will listen, beyond expectations

does nephew listen to the wisdom of his tia? today he did, in silence while his eyes fixed on the cartoons on tv. a dry "okay" was all he said. i wonder if he listens? him probably not, his spirit, yes, absolutely. i know so. i was once an arrogant and ignorant person. y me propuse que el no me llamaria tia. pero aun ahora me encanta oir tia. tia, tia, tia. la unica tia que reconocia eran mis tias. and i did not want to be sour, old, and delightful, so i didn't want to be called tia. but now, my 5 year old piece of heaven, troubled, loved, and cuddled, is my reason to be better. i may not always be there for him in the way that i would like, but i will always be his tia drea. my little munchkin is turning five. an like the ignorant, arrogant that i once was, it has taken five years to pride myself in being tia.
