First, thank you for spacing out your narrative, as I have a problem concentrating on a wall of text.

Second, it sounds like you are making a big difference in the lives of your nieces. Giving them an idea of what life can be like. Sounds like you are giving them a bigger picture of life. One that is positive. Keep up the good work.

I'm sorry that your childhood was so hard and that there wasn't anyone there for you. But it looks like you turned out just fine, being that you are able to focus on others and their needs.

You are being a great aunt and I'm sure one that will be remember throughout your nieces lives.
