Since I was a little girl, my aunt has always played a major role in my life. Now, don’t get me wrong; I have always had a great relationship with my Mom. However, my aunt has always been the woman in my life who I could turn to when I thought my Mom was being unfair to me, or when I wanted to talk about something that I wasn’t comfortable talking about with my Mom. I feel very lucky to have had this type of person in my life when I was growing up, because it always made me feel good to know that I had someone I could turn to.
Even though I no longer have to worry about going to my aunt when my Mom makes me upset (since I am now grown up and living on my own), I still have a great relationship with my aunt. In fact, I just visited her this month. The reason I did that is because I was talking to her on the phone, I told her that I was going to have a three day weekend for President’s Day, and once she found about that, she asked if I wanted to fly to Dallas and spend those three days with her.
I thought that sounded like a great idea, so that’s exactly what I ended up doing, and as always, I had a great time with my aunt in Dallas!
