What It's Like Having Nieces Only 3 Years Younger Than You

My nieces are more like sisters to me.

Having nieces only 3 years younger than you is a lot different than the usual age gap between an aunt and niece. My nieces are twins and I was 3 years old when they were born. We grew together and I am more like their older sister. Even though I am only 3 years older than them, they still call me 'Auntie' and I think that is adorable.

My nieces and I get mistaken for sisters.

All 3 of us have always looked a lot alike. My Mom and sister used to dress us in matching outfits, and we used to get mistaken for triplets.

We fight like sisters.

We have gotten into a bunch of little fights. Once, I got mad at one of them because she licked the brownie mix on the spatula and didn't wait to share it. We've gotten into fights about stealing each other's clothes and a bunch of other little things. No matter what we fight about, we always get through it.

We share clothes, shoes, and many other things.

We are all about the same size so we always exchange clothes. They've used my shoes, jackets, and even homecoming dresses. When we were younger, we would share Nintendo DS games and other toys.

We're always there for each other.

They have seen me at my lowest point, and I've seen them at theirs. I have seen them get their first boyfriend, win volleyball games, and this year, I get to watch them graduate high school.

Aunt and niece relationships are like no other. Ours is specifically special because I grew up with them but also got to be a role model for them. I wouldn't know what to do without these girls.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
