If you have nieces or nephews then you can probably relate to some of the feelings I have about being an aunt. Being an aunt is one of the best feelings in the world for me. I have two nephews who I absolutely adore and would do anything for. I always hoped for a niece and can still hope for one, being that I have two younger siblings. But one day I got the news that my best friend was going to have a baby and she wanted me to be the Godmother. I was so ecstatic, and then we found out it's a girl. I can't even begin to explain how excited I was. Even though we won't be flesh and blood, it will be like having my own niece.

So let me explain the feeling of being an aunt. For me being an aunt is absolutely about spoiling my nephews and sending them back home with their mom and dad. Yes, I get to feed them things they probably shouldn't have and get them all hyper. I get to buy them things whenever I want and surprise them with it. But there is much, much more to the title, because I enjoy the smaller things in life.

My favorite part about being an aunt would definitely have to be the times my nephews hug me super tight, give me kisses, and say "I love you." Now for a three-year-old, super tight is not tight at all, but for him it's a "monster hug." And for a one-year-old, pretty much all I get is his slobbery kisses all over my cheek. For me, that's more than enough, but there is so much more. Like running around the yard chasing a soccer ball because he doesn't play fair and then dropping to the ground because we are worn out. Or acting silly because he thinks it is the funniest thing, and loving the sound of his laugh. The times we Snapchat or Skype because we miss each other so much. And there are even moments that happen after not seeing them for a long time when he runs up the driveway and jumps in my arms because he missed me as much as I missed him.

If I was to tell you how happy being an aunt made me I would never be able to just say it, because it's more of a feeling, and it would take actions to even come close to explaining it. I never knew that there was a love this strong, and I'm sure it'll be even stronger when I have children of my own.
