Dear little ones,
I want you to know just how deeply I care for you. You may not share my blood, but my love for you is as strong as if you were my own. You’re the beloved children of my dear friend, and that gives you a permanent place in my heart. You belong to my chosen family, and I’m here for the long haul.
I’m your biggest supporter, cheering you on as you navigate through life like a devoted fan at a concert. Watching you grow and develop into your own unique selves has been such a joy. I adore your laughter, your smiles, and the ways you carry bits of your mom and dad in you. You are an incredible blend of both, and you shine just as brightly as you truly are.
I believe in the power of bonus parents. Your mom loves my kids as if they were her own, and I’m here to do the same for you. During those challenging moments, remember I’m just a message or a call away. If you ever find yourself in a standoff with your mom, I might not call myself a pro, but I have a wealth of experience with her.
When the tricky teen years roll around, I’ll be your safety net. Stuck at a party without a safe ride home? I’ll be there, no questions asked. Need to vent about life’s complexities? I’ll have the coffee ready. My fridge is your fridge, and my pizza? It’s yours too. You can count on me, always.
You can bet I’ll be a teary mess at your high school graduation, probably the one sitting next to your mom, looking like I just lost a battle with waterproof mascara. And don’t even get me started on your wedding day or when you hold your first child. You have so much potential ahead of you, and I’m excited to be there for every moment.
I’m incredibly proud of you. Regardless of where life takes you or how much you grow, I’ll always cherish the memories of when you were just tiny and new. I’ll never forget the moment your mom shared the news of her pregnancy with me; it filled me with overwhelming joy. I remember how she looked at you, as if you were the brightest star in the sky—and she still looks at you that way. I’ve been there for the diaper changes (sorry about that), the bottle feedings, and the scraped knees. I am truly invested in your journey, past, present, and future.
Your mom is stuck with me, and so are you.
With all my love,
Aunt Lily
