YTHHey brat(s),
You're growing up way too fast. I can remember you as a baby, as if it were yesterday. I can't imagine what it must be like to be the younger sibling (mainly because I am the older one). I can't imagine what you may go through on a daily basis, being the little sister because I've never had to be in the position that you're in. What I do know, is how to battle being the age you are.
When I look at you, I see the baby you used to be, not the young lady you're becoming. I have to accept it (I haven't yet), you're growing up on me. Pretty soon, you're going to encounter lots of new experiences (not all of them being bad ones) and begin developing into the most genuine form of yourself. You have so much potential to be extraordinary, more extraordinary than you already are and I never want you to lose sight of that. I know growing up can be a scary, unfamiliar territory, but I promise you that everything will be okay.
You're gonna see changes in yourself as you get older. Not just physical changes, but emotional ones as well. You're going to feel crazy half the time, lost even. You're going to want to kill mom and dad every once in awhile. You're going to look at other people and question why they lack so many brain cells. You're going to get your heart broken. All of this stuff is inevitable, little sis. There's no stopping it. But, one thing that you have that no one else does: ME.
I will always be by your side. I will love you, even when I hate you. I will protect you and do my best from keeping that little heart of yours from being broken. I will teach you, pick you up when you fall and love you unconditionally. If there's one thing in your life that is never going to go away, it's me. I understand everything you may be going through and I will always give you 110% of my attention. You will never have to feel alone. You will never have to worry about going down the wrong path. You will never have to look at being my little sister, as a setback. All we have is each other. When everyone else leaves us in the dust, we will have each other.
I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for you. You have shaped me into the person I am today. You have given me hope, faith and motivation. You have given me some of the wisest advice, just because of you're pure innocence. You have put a smile on my face whenever I needed it and have made me laugh uncontrollably. You make me want to be a better person. I want to be someone you can look up to and be proud of. You make my life have purpose. You are easily the best thing that has ever happened to me. Even though you probably don't realize it, you have had the most impact on me and the choices I make as an adult. I will never be able to repay you for everything that you have done for me, so I hope just being your big sister will suffice.
Thank you for being the greatest rugrat anyone could ever ask for.
Love always,
Your overprotective, controlling, sometimes brutally honest big sister.
P.S. I swear, everything I do is out of love.
