To Ross
May my love for you always be clear.
May you always keep me in your heart.
may you always know the truth through the lies.
may the happy memories we shared never from your mind part.

You are so young, so gentle, and so innocent.
Yet you live in a world filled with ignorance and hate.
Be brave, and keep an open mind, I pray.
Keep your head up high, and someday we can be together again.

Do you miss me like I miss you?
I got to be with you on my birthday,
When will I see you again?
Easter, Christmass, God only knows?

To you I will always pledge unending love,
I promise I will never give up on us.
I know that my uncle could care less for me,
And I swore I'd never let you think the same way about me.

I love you so my dear nephew.
May your life bring you nothing but happiness.
May your future find a world of love and understanding.
And no matter what you do, I'll be here still loving you!

Hey for those might have wondered...  I still see my nephew on holidays..its more like turtore to see him now...he doesn't know me anymore, and I don't know him.  His mother has completely ruined the close relationship we once had.  I do hope that someday either A) His mother will learn to except me for who I am, or B) Ross will grow up and want to be part of my life despite his mother. 

Update: I get to see my nephew now once a week (sometimes more).  We were apart for 2 years so obviously the bond is not as strong as it was, but we get along pretty well most of the time.  It's really great to be a Uncle again to say the least!
