What are your non-negotiables when it comes to where you live?

A water park nearby lol. Ok that was my non negotiable as an 8 year old. I'm kind of easy going so after thinking, I decided if it's close enough by my nephews, I will forever be happy. I love being around them and watching them grow up.

I recently said something harmless to the 10 year old that asks me to come watch him play hockey all the time. I say yes every time and today I said well I have to keep coming until one day I'm not cool anymore and you don't want to hang out with me.

I said it as a joke and felt bad for saying it and thinking to myself, "Oh don't guilt the kid." So he looks at me and says you're my uncle and my friend. I'll always want to hang out with you. Fucking kid made me tear up lol. He gave me a big hug in front of his close teammates. I tried to cover up the tear and one of the hockey moms started balling cause she heard the whole thing and then I was surrounded by a bunch of hockey dads all hugging me and my nephew haha. It was a sweet and funny moment and for this, I have to be near them. They're the best.
