Dear older sister,

Growing up we didn't see eye to eye. Like ever. Growing up it always seemed that you hated me and vis versa. I would annoy you and your friends. We didn't get along and that drove mom and dad up the wall. It was usually the reason mom and dad fought. We were so much alike that we would always butt heads.

When you moved away it was probably one of the happiest days in my life. Or so I thought.

For the first couple months I was great. I found my place as a big sister. I got along better with our younger siblings. It was great.

But then I left home. I found myself feeling alone. I would call mom and talk to to her for hours. I didn't understand why you would call and talk to her for that amount of time. It used to make me mad when I would call mom and she would text me and tell me she was on the phone with you.

But now I get it. I get why you would call mom. I understand why you would you would make random trips home to surprise us. It's been a wild ride getting to where we are now.

The last couple weeks have been my favorite. We've talked a lot. You've really worked to help our relationship. And for that I am so thankful.

I am so grateful for you. You are so amazing. I love you so much.

Sincerely,

Your annoying younger sister.
