Herself

I met my niece yesterday for coffee. She has moved into my hood with her girlfriend and was so happy to catch up as was I. She came out to her mother in her late teens (my youngest and favorite sister) and after some initial concern all is more than well. This is what happens when you have understanding parents who only want the best for you. 

She wanted to get into details of family history with me and I was happy to oblige. We were far from perfect as a group but gave off squeaky clean vibes through having been raised by exacting parents who valued education and comportment. 

My niece is slightly younger than my son with a disposition that is bubbly and inquisitive. Her page boy cut frames feminine chiseled features which betray a tendency to dress in more masculine attire. Were it not for her bone structure you could be forgiven for seeing a young teenage boy. 

Mostly though, she is just herself and there is nothing better.
