Dear My Sister,

Thank you for being you.

We've grown up 15 years together, and despite the special bond we've shared all these years, only recently has it really hit me how lucky I am to have you in my life. I've realized that my appreciation for you has grown and changed over the years. When we were younger we saw each other as playmates who were always there to play dolls, ride bikes or play dress up with. However, now as we get older you are more than just a friend, more than just a best friend; you're my other half.

You are always there for me no matter what the circumstance is. Whether it's supporting me in something I do, listening to me when I'm having a bad day, keeping me up to talk in the wee hours of the night, comforting me, making me laugh or giving me fashion advice. You have never left my side. You have been there through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

You know me better than anyone else and because of that you are irreplaceable. I don't know what I would do without you in my life. Honestly. Who would I people watch with? Who would I act like a complete idiot with? Who's clothes would I steal? And these are just the basics.

We may not always see evenly and may have our differences but that's what makes us so close. We may fight sometimes, I mean all the time, and may say some pretty mean things to each other but it's always over silly things and two minutes later we are best friends again.

Our memories are pretty incredible and unique to say the least. We've gone from playing with mommy's high heels and makeup to wearing our own. From riding the dizzy teacups to riding extreme roller coasters. From playing with fake phones to sending each other silly and embarrassing Snapchats. I guess what I'm trying to say is that although we've grown up, we still never fail at having a good time whenever we're together.

Although I may be the older sister, you have taught me some pretty great things. You are such a smart, funny, kind hearted, and beautiful person inside and out. You never fail at surprising me of your capabilities, and because of that I admire you.

I know I do not say this enough and I will never be able to express it enough, but I love you. I love the person you are becoming and all of the crazy that comes with it. I love all the quirky things about you, and all the memories we've shared together.

I have been so blessed to be given a sister in my life, and because of that I will always be here when you need a shoulder to cry on, be someone to share a joke or laugh with, be someone to go on crazy adventures with, and most importantly be someone to protect you no matter what.

You were my first friend, and now you are my best friend. I couldn't be more lucky to call you my sister.

Love,
Your sister.
