A girl after my own ♥



So many of my family members tell me how my niece Erica and I are so a like. They keep saying that "She's the second coming of Abby. - She acts just like you when you were a child."

This was proved to me last night when I got a phone call at 8:46 at night. It was Erica, She was still up (10:46 her time)! She was busy writing me a letter as we've been corresponding via snail mail and it's the greatest thing in the world!

And she says "Hey Auntie Abby - It's Erica. When are you going to the comic book convention?" and my heart skipped a beat! "On Saturday Erica, why do you ask?"
"I am working on writing you a letter, and would like to send you money to buy me some comic books when you're there. Do you think you'd get it by Saturday"
My heart burst with joy! My mini - me WANTS TO READ COMIC BOOKS!!!!!
My response was "NO, Don't send me money - What is it that you want - Uncle Eric and I are more than happy to pick up comic books for you."

She continued to tell me how much she loves Twilight and how her mommy just bought her an Edward Cullen poster to hang above her bed... Sigh!
It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside hearing from Erica and knowing how much she looks up to me. I look up to her, She helps me keep my child like views on life. I miss her...
