An Open Letter To The Girl My Little Brother Will Marry

To the very lucky girl my brother will fall in love with (one day),

He is one-of-a-kind, one of the best kind, actually. The kind of person that reminds you of how much you matter just by being around him. He is funny, fiercely loyal, strong, and loving. And you are the lucky one he has chosen.

He will work hard for you, wipe your tears, pick you up when you fall and steady you when you stumble. He will comfort you in your fears and stand beside you as you overcome them. He will protect you and never cease to fight for you. He will hold your hands through every trial that you will come to face in this life as he walks through them with you, fearlessly.

You are now a part of his loving heart; his beautiful, kind heart. The precious heart that he fights to keep hidden, but instead it shines with such an immense amount of passion, in the way that only his spirit can. A heart with pure intentions and unconditional love. A heart that is not without flaw, but still beautiful in its imperfections. A heart that has grieved and grown through loss. A heart that has been broken and mended. A heart that has so much passion for the things and the people that he loves. A heart that always choose others. A heart that will ache with you in your time of grief and rejoice with you in your time of triumph. A heart filled with compassion. A heart that loves to teach you about the things that put the sparkle in his eyes and longs to learn about the things that put the sparkle in your own eyes. A precious heart that will support your every endeavor. You are now a piece of his joyful heart that will love you, trust it.

You are on his team. His team that rejoices in his triumphs and builds him up through his failures. His team who notices that sparkle in his eye when he talks about the things he loves. His team -- the people who have been lucky enough to truly know him, the ones who know how much he longs to see others succeed, how much he loves adventure, how he wants to share in his happiness with the ones around him, how sometimes he just needs you to listen to him and not say anything, how he loves wholly and unconditionally -- the ones he loves and the ones who love him. We love him, we cheer for him, we comfort him, and we push him to be better. You are now a part of that team, we will do the same for you.

He is smart, stubborn, kind, frustrating, patient, joyful, talented, understanding, accepting, and brave. And he has chosen you. Welcome to the team.

All the love,
