The joy you convey in the words you write here speaks very well of you. I am sure you love them all and want to do your best for them, and yet you emphasize the joy of your nephew's visit. You have always struck me as a very busy man, even busier than me, and that's saying enough, so it's admirable that you make space for what really matters in life, our family.
Have you ever planned anything ahead of time simply to have the benefit of something to look forward to leading up to the thing itself?
Yes, when I want something with my heart I plan, insist and prepare until everything is as perfect as possible, in fact I feel that working on it guarantees that goal will come true. Happy to greet you again bro, I send you a sincere hug!...
Planning helps to make things a reality. There's a time for spontaneity of course, but some things need to be planned out to make them a reality and I like the expectation that having future events planned can bring.
