I didn't really know what to expect with being an auntie, would we just see each other on holidays and birthdays or would we FaceTime a few times a week because I miss you like crazy. My two nephews are definitely the best parts of my life and for them, I only wish the most happy, love filled life, so...

To my boys,

First off, I just want you to know how much you are loved. Not a day goes by that your sweet smiles and innocent laughs don't cross my mind. I hope you know how important you are to me and how much love I have for you. Never could I have imagined, I could love anyone as much as I love the two of you.

As you get older, I hope you never lose your sense of wonder. Every time I turn around, you're growing and discovering new things, with a wide-eyed gaze, mesmerized by the beauty in everything. I hope that never fades and each day you grow, but never lose sight of the wonders of the world and the wonders of yourself.

Always remember, I am just a call away. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, and for me that is most definitely true. I took living with you for granted and now I go weeks without seeing you at a time. The distance is hard, probably harder for me than you, but it makes every FaceTime and visit home that much better. Don't ever doubt that I am here for you every step of the way and if you ever need, I'll be home in the blink of an eye.

As you grow up, I hope you always remember, mistakes are a part of life and I promise to always fix them for you as best as I can and remember I will always be in your number 1 fan and always by your side. From all of your future school accomplishments, plays, games, and whatever else you get yourself involved in, I will be there, beaming with joy because my little angels are growing up.

No matter how old you get or where we all end up, I will always be your auntie. I will always be there for those things you need help with but don't want to ask mom and dad, for those things you desperately need (want) and mom and dad say no. I will always be the person you can turn too and I promise to never be too hard on you, but always push you to be your best. I will always be proud of you, always love you, and always be your auntie (and your favorite).

I look forward to every second of growing up with you boys, seeing your smiles, and loving you more and more every day. Thank you for being my sunshines.

Love always,

Auntie
