Three Men and a Lady

This is my aunt who is only 7 years older than me. We grew up more like sisters, and she is the one I idolized and tried to imitate. From her banana clips, Aqua Net, and tight rolled jeans, I wanted to be her. Now we are both in our 30's and she is one of my closest friends and daily phone calls. She has given my children 70% of their toys (like a motorized Jeep, a Little Tykes Outdoor Playhouse, and a Nintendo Game Boy), and gives my boys more clothes than I can keep track of. People think it is funny that I call her "Auntie", but I am proud that I get to call her that. She has loved me, invested in me, and cared for me, my children, and my siblings.
