Only a younger sister would crash your first date, make you go buy diapers and pacifiers and then come home early. Only a younger sister would take over your room when you go on to College, and only a younger sister would still give you grief for being the older one.
I had no idea that a few years later you would get married, and no longer be the one to make me smile in the mornings. I had no idea that you would start a family of your own. I had no idea, that your children, would be so much like you. Sassy and smart.
There's some things I wouldn't have guessed either. I wouldn't have guess that I would spend two weeks living at your house taking care of you when you were sick. I couldn't have guessed that you would be the first one that I call when I get a job, or have a crush. I wouldn't have guessed that you would become one of my best friends.
Thank you for everything you've done for me over the years, from bringing me Starbucks on my birthday to movie dates to staying up for the late night conversations when one of us is upset. I bet when I was born you had no idea what was in store, especially being 14 years older than me.
You know me better than I know myself. Maybe it's because we fight like cats and dogs vying for the last piece of food. Maybe it's because we've spent an abundance of time together. Maybe it's because fate forced us to be friends. Maybe it's because we overshare information, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
You've been there for every piano recital, every new adventure, every new rant that I decide to go on. You're my favorite person, besides your kiddos, I mean, who doesn't love babies! BUT, you come in a close second place.
SO here's two things that i have to say: Thank you. Thank you for telling me my outfit looks okay. Thank you for showing me new makeup tricks. Thank you for taking me out for coffee and a trip to the grocery store. Thank you for always making me laugh and always being a kid with me. Thank you for always being there.
There is no better friend than a sister, and there is no better sister than you.
