I would never have thought my aunt was going to become one of the most important people in my life. I always loved her more than most of course, but I never thought it would be how it is now. My relationship with her is amazing and the bond we share is strong. I’m lucky my aunt doubles as my best friend and I wouldn’t change that for the world.
So for the best aunt in the world, I wish you know how much you mean to me.
You’ve been a great role model to me and that’s the best thing that could have happened to me and my life and I can’t put into words how appreciative I am of that. I credit you for a lot when it comes to who I’ve grown up to be. You do so much for me on a daily basis and my life wouldn’t be what it is today if it weren’t for you.
You’ve consistently been pushing me to do better for myself and everything that I’ve accomplished. You help me more than you will ever know, and I know I’m not always the best at letting you know that, but I really do look for your comfort the most when my life takes on a crazy turn.
I’m going through what I think is the hardest time I’ve ever had in my life, and I’m glad I have you here with me to get through it. Even though other wild shit goes on in our lives you still make sure I’m okay as I can be at the moment.
I look up to you more than anyone because you’re such an amazing, strong woman and I truthfully don’t know how you do it. Every single day you carry us all and even when you’re ready to fall you don’t. You have gone through so much and you’re still standing. I hope I can be as strong as you are.
I hope you realize yourself how great you are because I admire your willpower to get do what needs to be done no matter how exhausted you may be. If I could take away any struggles you have, I would in a heartbeat.
Thank you, auntie, for showing me unconditional love and standing by me no matter what. For pushing me to be a better version of myself. For shaping me into who I am so that I can shape where I want to be many years from now. Most importantly, for loving me like I am your own and making sure I never feel left out when you never had to. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
You are one of the strongest people I have ever known and I’m grateful to have you in my life. Thank you for being like a mother to me.
