My dearest little brother,

It has been way too long since I posted anything on this site. I feel terrible. Please forgive me. I'm sure you will understand though that whilst there's no excuse for not keeping you up to date for the first half of 2009, the second half was dominated by the arrival of Kyle Alan, your nephew and our sunshine.



These have been emotional weeks and months for me. I get so sad when I imagine the wee man growing up with no aunts or uncles, no cousins...you and I had such great times when the whole family got together and just loved being in the company of our extended family. I'm so worried that Kyle will miss this, be lonely in some way.

I have thought of you so often the past few months...even more so than before. I am so very sad that you and Kyle won't get to know each other. And I hope so much that our wee man will be a happy boy, that Steffen and I will do our very best for him. We will of course tell him all about you, when the time comes...show him the photos we have dotted around the flat. He's a great wee lad...smiley and fairly easy-going (if a little whiney at times, but by no means a crier!). I can only hope that he gets to enjoy the company of our cousins and second cousins, as well as his great aunts and uncles as often as possible to at least try and fill the gap you have left.

I love you and miss you, your sister Sha x
