I started tearing up today after being home for a few hours. My husband and I spent the last three nights with my niece, parents, and sister at their house. I miss my niece terribly. I wish I could spend more time with her. I did help raise her for the first two-years of her life. I'm almost like a second Mama to her and she is like a daughter to me. I don't know if I'm being over emotional or if my heart aches from being apart from her. Lately, I have been feeling sad every time I have to leave my parents house to return home. I wish I didn't.
