To my sister:

We've been a part of each other's lives from you cutting off my curls when they finally came in, to you graduating from college. We may have gotten along most of the time but we still argued at times.

We've shared a bedroom for most of my life. Although I say that I'm sad that I don't get to have a room to myself when you come home, I'm happy to see you again. I've had a built-in roommate to help me for when I actually have roommate who I'll have to share an apartment with in the future.

I've pretty much have twice the amount of clothes because we have similar styles, although sometimes you don't give me some things back. We both probably have each other's clothes even though we're three hours away from each other.

But this isn't about all the material items I've had with you, it's about the familial and personal items I've gained.

Because I have a sister, I have best friend for life. If I ever need advice, I can go to you. If I need to talk after a heartbreak, I can go to you. I can text you silly things like "Hey it's National Wine Day, have a glass (or bottle) of wine for me," or something serious like "Hey, I need advice about this boy."

Even though we're hours away, you still support me in my adventures. You've been reading my Odyssey articles and now you can read my articles with the Advance-Titan.

Even though we're hours away, you're still a text or call away.

Even though we may not see each other every day, our sisterly love is still strong for each other.

So thank you for not only being my sister, but for being my sister.

I love you,

Your little sister
