Mimi

My niece calls me Mimi.  It makes me smile. 

I have always wanted a nickname and even gone so far when I was a kid to try to give myself nicknames, but they never caught on.  (In my mind, I am a Maggie.  I have always known that Maggie is short for Margaret. But, c'mon, it is such a cool name! )

This weekend, I got to spend some time with my niece and so my ears are still singing with sounds of Mimi.


"Mimi, ride with me. Mimi, hold me. This water is cold Mimi!"  La la la.

I love her for one million reasons.   She loves me because I am her Mimi. 

Maybe I have found my perfect nickname after all.
