It's so amazing how much you automatically love a new member of your family. I am so excited to hold my niece! It's also amazing (and a little weird) to see your brother become a parent... Severin has already been changed by his little girl. I could tell the difference as soon as I heard his voice after she was born. It's like he suddenly realizes the unconditional love and gratefulness that our mom and dad have always had for him. You think that you already understand until you have your own child and your understanding explodes (at least that's what I hear, seeing how I haven't i've never experienced it yet ;)).
Speaking to Haley made my eyes tear up. It's so wonderful that Severin has such an amazing eternal companion to be the mother and teacher of his children. I am so grateful for her. She is a wonderful example to me. It will be so great to see her as a mom.
I am also so grateful for Severin. He has always been my example, the best big brother, and a person that I have always been able to look up to no matter what. I don't know how he has lived the way that he has, except for his strength, faith, and love. Now I will be able to watch his example as a parent-- i know he will be the perfect dad for Baby Bergeson.
I love you guys and I am so happy for you! I can't wait to meet your little, dark-haired girl!
