Addyson Christina Marie Talgo

                Welp…… It all started years upon years ago when I was in 7^th grade. I was a very touchy and loving child. All of the high schoolers used to think I was so cute so they would hug me whenever they saw me and talk about how cute I was. I used to know so many that as the years went on I didn’t even notice half the people going out and graduating. Well I was my junior in high school, I had gone over to my aunts to have a cook out. There was a young pregnant women sitting in a chair. I had known the second I saw her that I had seen her somewhere before. As the barbeque went on and we talked we came realized that we went to high school together and had a lot of mutual friends from school.

                Time went on, we exchanged numbers and the rest was destiny. We didn’t really talk much to be honest but I was always excited to go to my aunt’s house and hope that she was there! Her name was Cheyenne by the way! I totally forgot to mention that bahhahahahaha. Well she had her baby on October 24 ,2014. It was right around a month when I had seen her for the first time. The second I saw her I was stunned by how beautiful and spectacular she was. My breath was a gasp as I looked upon this perfect little angel.

                                 

                Me and Cheyenne started texting more and more and then made a plan to hang out one Friday after school, we basically just went back to her house and we talked and I played with little Addyson. Addy really took a huge liking to me right from the start. It was after that day that everything just changed for me. That beautiful little baby changed my entire life. I’m a completely different person because that gorgeous baby girl was brought into this world. She is not mine however, sometime I wish so.  Me and Cheyenne really became inseparable as well! The father of Addy left them both and when I saw them and be friended them and Addy touched my heart. I stepped up to the plate.

                            

                I was there for everything. Her first words, I had seen her first steps, although not in person. I was actually at the hospital visiting my grandfather when Cheyenne had called me and told me to go look at the facebook video she had just posted, I went out into the hallways just in-case there was sound and I watched the video of her very first steps and how her face lit up as she took step after step. Now I am by no means a crier. I have had the most dreadful things happen and I did not shed but a single tear. But as I watched her and her face….. I cried, tear after tear rolled down my face as I stood in the hall of the hospital. Tears of joy are something I had never really experienced until that point in time, not from laughing so hard you cried, but this was more from the beauty and the tickle in my heart. I knew. I knew that Addy was and always will be a huge part of my heart. I could never understand why a father would leave her, she is such an amazing person.

                I watched that Abby grow, I helped her grow…. Maybe not always good. I taught her to say shit before she was one years old. I specifically I taught her to say shit when she dropped stuff. It would make me laugh so hard when she’d throw her bottle on the floor, laugh and say shit, and then repeat when you gave it back to her.

                Addy’s smile is a gorgeous and perfect one. I can’t put into words right now how much I love my niece. I will never be her father but I will always be that amazing Uncle that would do anything for her or her mother. I could go on for pages and pages about the last year, but I should probably just stop now. That baby is my world and I’m literally crying right now thinking about how it’s been over a month since I’ve seen her. I have hundreds of pictures. Tons of letters, posts, thoughts, but it’s all way too much.

                I don’t really know how to end this because I feel like I’ve barely written anything about her. But she is my world.

My Niece

My Baby

My Little Girl

And I’ll always walk to the moon and back for her! I love her to the moon and back! We were best friends me and Cheyenne, but not like the kind you find in high school. We were friends, but we were also a family. And the things I've learned from those two women have change me forever, for the good of course :)) Now my arms are all wet from wiping my eyes, who knew a baby could have this much effect on someone!
