bundle of joy in the big apple

last night i arrived in new york. to the embrace of my family.

my nephew and nieces, they are the sweetest.

their love in the forms of hugs, jokes and even mean-ish remarks 

make me feel like the crazy flying experience all the way here, was all worth it.

family's embrace is truly a bundle of joy

nothing short of miraculous

to suddenly feel a mother's warmth

a sister's spoiling

her huge meal to welcome me over

she doesnt take no for an answer, even when i cant anymore

laughing at her jokes and stories of old 

and even the wild things she sees in the streets of new york 

from her little kitchen window

we sit together, for long hours

doing our nails (well she doing mine really)

her little one embracing me and although i just arrived, 

begging me not to leave

how could i?

her sweet smile and kisses

i'm all hers.

my weekend here, just begun and i cant wait for more of this 

for good meals made with sisterly love

for more hugs

and for good ol'spoiling 

 

ps: she got my hair genes. so excited for her :)
