Being an auntie is hands-down one of the best responsibilities I have been honored with. From love to giggles to kisses to toys, I cannot think of any other title I would rather hold. Being in someone's life with a role like this is something that should not and cannot be taken for granted. When I became an Auntie, I made an unspoken vow to my nephews. Here are 15 things I promised my new favorite people when I gained the title of "Auntie."

1. I promise to protect you

You will always be my number one priority and I promise to do everything and anything in my power to protect you from whatever life throws at you.

2. I promise to support you

As my tiny friend, it is in my job description to love and support you in whatever decisions or life choices you make.

3. I promise to listen to you

I will always be free to lend an ear to whatever you have to tell me; from school, to crushes, to amazing future life plans.

4. I promise to spoil you

As your auntie, it is my duty to spoil you and give you whatever you want (and Mom and Dad don't have to know).

5. I promise to help you

Whatever you need help with, I will promise to give you my best - even if it's math.

6. I promise to cheer you on

Count me in as your absolute number one cheerleader for everything from recitals to soccer game.

7. I promise to make sure you get everything you deserve

You deserve the world and I will do everything in my power to make sure you get just that and nothing less.

8. I promise to be your friend

Since I'm a young auntie, that also qualifies me to be a friend - count me as a two-in-one.

9. I promise to keep you accountable

Even when you may not want me to be there for you, I still will be.

10. I promise to not tell your parents when I get you toys/candy

This is another thing that can stay our little secret...

11. I promise to make you laugh

Even when life is at its lowest, I promise to always be there to make you laugh and bring a smile to your face.

12. I promise to always have your back

No matter what crazy decisions you decide to take in life, you can count on me to back you up with love and support.

13. I promise to make sure you succeed

Even if things don't go your way or the way you had hoped they would go, I will be there for you with a supportive alternative option.

14. I promise to love you unconditionally

Ever since you came into my life, you had me wrapped around your teeny tiny finger. From here on out, you have support, laughter, help, and most importantly, love, for the rest of your life.
