Notes To You

Note To My "Big Sister"

Dear "Sister",

I put sister in quotations because you're technically not my sister. You're dating my brother. But I do really love you like a sister.

I love the fact that you are dating my brother(even though he's 4 years younger than you). Watching you two as people together makes me believe in love again. Especially after what happened with everything these past few months, you guys really do show me that love is true and strong.

We've always been close. No matter what. Remember how you hated my brother at first? Even before you two started dating, you would give me rides home from work, and we would just talk about everything. You make me want to open up. I know I can always talk to you about anything. You make me smile, and laugh. I know this month has been really hard on you, but everything now is for the better.

When you decided to spend time with that other person, it hurt me. But I was glad that we had the talk we had because the first time I saw you with our friend group after that, all I could say was,"That's my happy girl." You started to light up the room again with just a flash of a smile and everyone felt better because of it.

When that person first hurt you, you cried and cried. And then I couldn't stop crying because you were crying. It was a crazy day. But I would do that trip all over again, just so we could have fun together. Without all the people that screwed it up though.

I wish that 4th day was our last. I danced with my crush, we had a sibling dance off, and that crazy Russian lady was awesome! I wish we could have the time back from what we wanted taking care of the people who eventually hurt us, but I think we're getting better at taking action against it.

I don't know how many times I can say I love you. But I truly do love you. Everything you do, everything you embody. You are so wonderful and beautiful, and smart, and strong. Sister, you are the human embodiment of love. No matter what mood you're in you can constantly show kindness and compassion to those around you. You inspire me everyday to be a better person.

My family is lucky to have you in our lives.

So I guess all I want to say really, is thank you. Thank you for being you. Everything that I've said to you is true. I can't picture you not being with my brother, or even a part of this family. You get a long so well with everyone, even with mom when she's gone crazy. Grandma and Grandpa love you. So does Nanny. You were the missing piece to complete us.

And no matter how many times my brother may bug you, my annoy you or just plain, old, make you angry, just know that you can always come to me. For any reason at all. I'm always here for you.

With love,

Your "Little Sister"
