Being An Aunt

Definiation of an AUNT ~ An aunt is a person who is the sister or sister-in-law of a parent.[1] A man with an equivalent relationship is an uncle, and the reciprocal relationship is that of a nephew or niece."Aunt" (or "auntie") may also be an honorific bestowed on an individual in fictive kinship.


I became an aunt for the first time 8 years ago ~ it was one of the best days of my life. When Sabrina was born my heart was flooded with so many emotions and so much love. I remember thinking I love this baby so much and she is not even my child. It was amazing to me how much I fell in love with each of them so completely as soon as they were born. I have come to learn after years of sharing my life with them that yes they are my children. They are a part of my heart and soul. I worry about them, I think about them everyday, I pray for them everynight, I buy clothes and toys for them, I take them places and spend as much time as I possibly can with them. When they hurt, I hurt, When they are happy, I am happy, When they are sad I am sad. They have been my sanity and showed me true, real, unconditional love. When they wrap those little arms around my neck and say " I love you Auntie" it is a feeling like no other. I want to have a special bond with each one of them. I love watching them grow and blossom into little people with there own personalties.
I was so lucky that God blessed me for 28 years of my life with an amazing Aunt. She was not just my aunt she was my sister, my 2nd Mom and my best friend. I learned so much from her and we shared something special ~ a bond that will always remain strong and true even in her death. Losing her almost destroyed me but I have all these wonderful memories that I cling too and it helps to get me through the really dark times. I know she had an undying love for me that has not and will not ever change ~ heaven or earth. I grew up always knowing I had love and support from three amazing woman, My Mom, My Gram and Aunt Debbie. I want Sabrina, Joshua and Dillon to always feel the love and support from me. I would do anything for them..... I would die for them......I truly would. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be apart of there lives and I hope they will always know how much I love them.

Proud Aunt of Three

Sabrina

This is Sabrina Elizabeth she was born Jan 28th, 2002.  Brina was my frist experience as a Aunt.  I was there when she was born and I remember hearing her cry and Shane say "Its a Girl"  I was beyond excitied after having all those boys around!  The day Shane put her into my arms and I looked at her I could not believe it, she looked like ME!!!!   I was so sure she was going to look like her Mom but she didn't.  She had strawberry blonde hair and eyebrows........I was out of work when she was born so I spent alot of time with her.  Shane and Jamie lived upstairs from us and Jamie would bring her downstairs in the morning and I would just lay her in bed with me and stare into her eyes for hours, I would sing to her and talk to her and she was just lay there calmly looking back at me.  I used to wonder what her voice was going to sound like, what kind of personality she would have, if she would like me and how our relationship would be.   Well 8 years later I can say I am not disappointed at all ~ She is stunningly beautiful, smart, sweet, talented, loving and a precious gift to me.  We have a great relationship and I feel so honored that she can talk to me about things.  We share a special bond and I would not want it anyother way.  Its amazing how you can love a child so much that is not of your flesh.  I thank god for giving me such a wonderful neice.  I love you Brina my baby girl!

Dillon

This is Dillon Michael he was born Jan 16th, 2008 ~ not only is he my nephew but he is also my godson.  I was lucky enough to be in the delivery room they day he was born.  I heard his first cry ~ I was the one that got to go with the nurse to weigh him.  It was an amazing experience that I will always be greatful my brother and sister in law allowed me to share with them.  Dillon is a very special boy!  He is sweet and loving but very comical.  He is our lil mister dance fever too ~ he will shake that diaper butt any chance he gets.  Dill is very handsome and smart too.  He has brought alot of laughter into our hearts and homes and I look forward to what the future will bring us.  I love hearing him say "Hi Stacy" it make me heart melt.  He has the cutest lil laugh you ever heard and when he smiles he can get away with just about everything and he is beginning to figure that out.  I can't wait to see him grow up ~ Love you Dill Boy!!!!

Joshua

Joshua Shane Welker was born on December 23rd, 2004 he is my nephew and one of my blessings from God.  I remember the night he was born so clearly.  I was very sick and I could not go to the hospital to be there when he was born.  It broke my heart that I could not be there.  Instead I stay home with Sabrina and Justin waiting for the news of our Joshy's arrival.  Debbie kept calling to find out if he was born yet ~ Finally a little after midnight Shane called singing "Joshua fought the battle of Jericho" song into the phone.  He was here our lil Joshua ~ he was our early christmas present.  He has given our family so much joy since his birth 5 years ago.  He will be starting kindergarten next year and is so smart.  He loves dinosaurs, sharks, whales and snakes.  He is a cuddler and he makes my heart melt.  I thank God for bringing my sweet lil Josh into my life.  As he says he is one of my love bugs.  I love you Joshua <3
