To my older siblings,

There are no words to thank you for shaping me into the person I am today. Whether you realize it or not, despite the age gap, I have always admired you. When I was younger, it was difficult to relate to you. However, as I grow older, I now appreciate all the times you took the blame for me and taught me valuable life lessons.

Thank you for making holidays so special. There is no better feeling than waking up on Christmas morning in our pajamas, eating breakfast, and opening presents together. Not to mention, trick-or-treating together was a staple of my childhood. I will always cherish holiday memories that I hold close to my heart.

Thank you for always babysitting me when I was a child. Seriously, when mom and dad needed a night out, you guys were more than happy to take care of me (my sister took me in to her school for show-and-tell, I was a big deal).

Thank you for being the first ones born and testing the waters with mom and dad. They were far more strict with you than they were with me. As much as you hated it, I really appreciated it.

Thank you supporting me in all of my school and sport endeavors. You have shared your experiences with me, and guided me with great advice. There is no better feeling than making your older siblings proud.

To my brother, you have always been the protective older brother who every sister secretly wants. I thank you for protecting me, watching over me, and literally doing anything for me. There has never been a time where I doubted you being there for me.

To my sister, my role model. You are so beautiful inside and out. You are the true definition of a fighter. You taught me when times get hard, keep pushing through. Thank you for always being willing to do my hair or make up for fun, and letting me steal all of your clothes. You are truly my best friend.

I love you both immensely.

Your youngest sibling.
