Grateful for my niece via /r/gratitude

Technically my boyfriend’s niece; but I’ve been in her life for years now and she calls me her aunt. She is such a joy to have around (even when she drives me a little crazy 😝) and she really makes me slow down and notice the little things in life that cause joy. A simple walk turns into a list of all the beautiful things around our apartment. My work from home day turned from another boring day to listening to her giggle while playing a game with my boyfriend. She is so grateful for everything we do with/ for her and she is just a breath of fresh air. I hope she never loses her joy because it is so contagious
