I mostly lurk here and don't post, but I know a lot of you are believers.
My niece just died. She would have been 13 in January. I can't type this all out again. Just see my other posts on patriots and c/Christianity.

You misunderstand. I mean I'll never be able to repay her personally for what she did in my life.
She's my wife's niece. She was just a toddler when we met. She latched onto me instantly. She was calling me "Uncle Luke" before she could even say my name right. It was "Uncle Woot" for a long time.
Before we were married, my wife and I had one huge fight. She tried to break up with me, and I almost said good riddance. What stopped me was the thought of those big brown eyes, crying because she didn't understand why I was gone. Funny how the shoe's on the other foot now. For her sake, I swallowed my pride and worked through things. If not for her, my wife and I might never have gotten married. My sons might never have been born. I could have missed out on the best things in my life.
I love that girl. Even if she's only my niece, and even if we don't share any blood, I will forever love her as though she were my own daughter.
Brother ~ This "I will forever love her as though she were my own daughter." was What my Gentle+Loving Grandpa told... my Grandma whenever they Fought... about ((taking me in as a Newborn after my bio-parents abandoned me in a Shoe-box)), & so I was sent to live with them in a communist country.
