To be an Aunty

Published on 13 October 2024 at 22:17

This is dedicated to one of the most special relationships I know.

Where a bond that is so unique gave me ambition and where my intentions began to grow.

 

It’s the friendship I remember as a child that provided some of my most cherished memories. 

It is those laugh till you cry moments that will one day create a book full of stories.

 

I recall the moment I found out that the role I admired so much was the one I would soon get to play.

And the intent to fulfill my duty in this position has kept me focused, has helped me remain.

 

It is with absolute certainty that I can say nothing in this world has given me so much joy. 

To provide nurture, safety, love, fun, affirmation has been the intentionality I’ve employed.

 

But the greatest honour of it all has not been the vastness of love that I’ve been fortunate to give. 

But the fact that it is so expressively reciprocated by my little people, I know that this life has been well lived.

 

And even though sometimes my heart beckons for the role of motherhood, the babies that my heart and womb have lost.

The nature that my heart has been able to give and receive in this world assures me it’s been worth the cost.
