Hey you. I miss you.
It's been 2 months since you were last home for Christmas from your Marine training. It's also been 2 months since you've been away in Pensacola, Florida.
Even though we text every single day, I still miss you because I don't get to see you every day. It sucks because I can't immediately tell you something and get a reaction from you as quickly as possible. I have to until you are not busy before I can get your text messages. We video chat from time to time but then it's back to text messages. We don't get to see each other every single day. I don't get to tell you face to face about how my day went. We don't get to watch our favorite TV shows together anymore. Now we watch on different days and one of us has to wait to talk about an episode that we got so excited about.
I miss your face. I miss seeing you at home. I miss seeing you come into my room at random times during the day and bothering me. I miss all times we go out only because I make you go with me. I miss when I make you go outside with me in the dark because I'm too scared to go by myself. I miss us having sleepovers in your room and just staying up for a long time just talking about whatever. I miss all those bathroom fights where we would try to get to the bathroom first before the other. I miss all those sneak attacks that we would place on one another when one of us does get to the bathroom first. I miss all the fights we would have when we try to ride shotgun first. I miss all the times where we joke around with each other.
We laugh. We joke around. We cry. We fight. Even though we do all of these, I still miss you. I miss you because you're my brother. I miss you because you're family. I miss you because I love you. I love you, little brother. You mean everything to me and I wouldn't trade you for anything else in the world. I wonder when the next time we will be able to meet. We were lucky enough to have you come visit for Christmas and we missed you for our Chinese New Year celebration. I hope you will be able to come for our aunt's wedding but I understand if you are not able to come. I miss you so much and I yearn for the time we will be able to meet each other again. I miss you and love you, little brother!
See you soon!
