Day 51 – my nieces and nephews
Today’s self love is dedicated to my nieces and nephews. I am blessed to be an Auntie to eighteen beautiful boys and girls. The oldest at 27 and youngest at 4 months. I have enjoyed beautiful kisses, long hugs and the funniest conversations with these kids. Blessed to be given the opportunity to be their Aunt, to be entertained by their different personalities, to be able available to them as a second parent and to have loved them unconditionally.

Lovely! I love being an auntie too. I was just five when I became an aunt for the first time and now I have loads of nieces and nephews (overwhelmingly mainly nephews) and I’m even a Great-Aunt to four children aged between 1 and 10. One of the hardest parts of deciding to emigrating was knowing I wouldn’t see my nieces and nephews as much.
Oh wow you were so young when you became an Aunt. 🙂 Yes, that is one of the hardest part, leaving family behind.
My oldest brother was 14 years older than me and my youngest brother is 15 years younger so we have a big spread of ages. That’s why I was an aunt so young. My youngest siblings have nieces and nephews who are older than them.
Wow you siblings are spaced so far apart. Maybe sometimes it feels like being an only child growing up.
No, because we were born in groups. So my four older brothers were close in age, then a gap of 8 years for me and then my sister who is 4 years younger, then a gap of a decade before my youngest brother and sister were born. So it’s like three batches of kids. I have traits usually related to oldest and middle children.
Ah thanks for the clarification. My mother’s family is also spaced like yours. We call then first, second and third batch. 🙂
