My childhood brother, Holden. Man where do I start? I met you when I was 6, you where short and chubby with a high pitched voice and a craving for Adventure. You took me with you on your adventures and we explored childhood together. With funny games and YouTube videos. Animals and wildlife. Running through fields and walking down roads. Driving golf carts and flying toy airplanes.
Of corse I was only so small when I was young. Curious and inexperienced. I didn't know what it was to love someone so much except family. Then I met you.
We did so much together our stories are endless. From hiding under blanket tints when bad storms hit to running out and playing in the after shocks of leftover droplets and rainbows of light.
Fishing for alligator snapping turtles and swimming in cool clear water. Beaches with sand castles and camping with baby turkeys.
You were my childhood and my first crush. Or so I thought I had a crush on you but then it just turned out to be adoration and love toward the boy that made my childhood.
When I was ten and we sat under the stars in tall grass, you looked at me and called me your sister. It was the day I smiled so wide I could not stop after I had started.
To the time I was 14, and you 17. We laid under the stars at an old childhood place- somewhere we had been so many times to we knew the way like the back of our hand. We laid in a field- much like when I was 10- except this time you cuddled me close to you for hours while I was in a bad place with family. You made me smile and bouncy for the whole night and helped me forget about the hurt and loneliness by letting me know you where there.
I don't see you as much as I used to. And we don't do the same things we did. But we still have a bond closer then I've ever had with anyone, and I love you to death.
Thank you for sticking by the girl that was annoying and lonely. But you helped her with that, even now as she has depression and anxiety you are still there. She doesn't see you as often, but knows for a fact you are next to her.
