Poka,
Today, I wish you the happiest birthday ever. You are and will always be the greatest gift I've ever received. I'm beyond blessed and proud to have a baby sister like you.
I know the past few days, even weeks have been hard and I wish with all my heart I could be by your side. I miss you so much more today. I hope and I pray things get better soon. Snow's gonna be fine.
I can't believe that you're 17 already, I still remember the day I first saw you so clearly. I remember feeling so jealous, thinking you were stealing all the attention from me. Little did I know that this tiny human would quickly become my favorite person in the whole wide world. It has been an honour to watch you grow. Even though you are my baby sister, I look up to you in so many ways. I believe in you, I believe you're gonna do amazing things in this life. You will surpass me in every way, and I can't wait to see what you achieve. Your mind-blowing intelligence, your distinctive memory, your passion for making the world a better place and your ability to make people feel better just by listening to them are a few things amongst all your strengths. I've seen you blossom into the beautiful and strong girl you are; how I wish I could be there and not miss the most important years of your life. I wish I could hold you in my arms when you're down, I wish I could be with you.
I promise you that I will always strive to be a better sister to you, I will make every effort to be there for you. I will side by you and protect you with every ounce of me. I hope that you know I'm always here, one phone call away.
Growing up, you will come across numerous challenges and face several obstacles. I hope then, you know that I will be there to listen and help you without any judgement. I hope you feel comfortable talking to me and sharing your deepest fears cause I will be by your side to face them. You are my unwavering certainty in this chaotic world, I am who I am today because of you. You always see the best in me and you are never scared to tell me off when I screw up. You believe in me and pick me up when I'm down. Thank you for talking to me until my tears run dry and for hugging me until I feel better. Thank you for being my biggest support and for telling me that I can take over the world one step at a time, for reassuring me that I am strong. I promise to do the same for you. I promise to guide you, and remind you how tough you are.
On your birthday, I wish nothing but the best for you. You deserve the whole damn world. Happy birthday to the most loving, caring, crazy, and annoying sister ever. I love you with all my heart. You are my poka mounou forever.
Sending you the biggest kisses from an ocean away!
