As She Turns 6…
by barffie
I realised I am getting reaaaaally old.
Niece #2 is going into Primary 1 next year.
Niece #1 is going to Secondary 1 next year and doing her PSLE this year.
Fwoah. And as they shifted to their new home 2 months ago, they found a handwritten note from me to my newborn Niece #1 that was given to her about 10 years ago. Niece #2 was fuming because I didn’t write a similar note to her saying things like, “Hi my niece and even though you may not know what I am talking about, I am sure my sis (your mum) will let you read this when you are older!”
Fwoah. Reading that note, obviously in my very silly, curly (not cursive, curly) handwriting with a silly drawing of a baby… reminded me of how long it has been since I first became an Aunt.
And it certainly made things a little fuzzy from then on, even though I had never been really close to them.
