Auntie

My most defining role in my life is being a Auntie. I ave a four year old nephew whom I have lived with the majority of his little life. For the first time in my life I don't live with him. We talk often and see each other occasionally.

I have to admit when he is too busy watching the latest Batman or Spiderman. I'm generally told the classic 4 year old response "Hi, Bye". This totally sucks. I love that boy more than words can even describe.

What does it mean to be Miss Mae without the consistent role of Auntie? I do realize that the typical Auntie sees the children on holidays or the occasional outing. Fortunately, this hasn't been the reality of my role as the Auntie.

Even cooking meals for one is just such a strange thing.

Today I'm learning how to be Miss. Mae. Go for walks. Buy the fresh seafood. Take comfort that there is so much more to me than being Auntie. With that being said, I still enjoy this role.
