i'm an aunt!

From one auntie to another first let me congratulate you. I didn't meet my neice until she was 8 months old, and everything was ok, ask your sister to hold the phone to your neice ears and talk to her so that she can get used to your voice. My mothers family live away from us, and when me and my sister were younger we only saw them once or twice a year, and I dont remember ever thinking they were strangers, my mother said there was never a problem as she used to tell us about her family all the time. So try not to worry. When you do see Im sure you will spoil her as much as I spoil my neice.

Wanting to have a close relationship with your niece is difficult when you're far away, but I'm sure you'll get over it when you will have your own baby in your arms. However, you can still have a good relationship with your niece by calling your sister and letting the baby hear your voice. In that way the baby can sense a familiarity in your voice.

[b]WOWWWWWW SOME PEOPLE CAN BE SO RUDE AND COLD-HEARTED !!!!![/b] Sis, pay no mind to those rude people. You have every right to be sad and feel like you are missing out if you so choose to feel that way ! I can't tell you how much it means to me that you want to be in your neice's life. I will make sure she knows exactly who her aunty "Preciouz" is, I'm forever showing her pictures of you, and she knows the sound of your voice already by hearing you on the phone all the time. I tell her all the time how much her aunty loves her and how much you help out when you can with the boxes of stuff you always send up to us. I know its hard to not be here with her, because I miss you too, but its only temporarily, eventually you will be here and you will have all the time in the world to make it up to her.

My heart goes out to you. Of the four of us, my youngest brother is the only one with a family as of now. The three of us just enjoy his kids and we are always happy to see them. The best part about being an aunt is that you can return them when you are tired of playing with them. But they bring so much joy in your life that when they are not there, you just feel you are missing out on something.

Being an aunt was also like being a mother of your own child, your sister grew in the same womb that you grew too. And when you grow old your niece if you don't have a child on your own can be the one who will take care of you someday. Not seeing our niece grew from baby till they grow up can be one of the things that you would probably missed a lot. If you have time, go on a vacation & visit them. At least just for once you saw your niece while he's'/she's still a baby rather than none at all.. have a great day!

take it easy. even u miss everything in her life, u r still her aunt. If I were u , I would try my best to be part of her life, the rest time.
