Dear Tiffany & Victoria,
I want to start this letter off by saying a simple thank you. Thank you for being there for me the past eighteen years. Thank you for loving me (even if I was being a pain). Thank you for the never-ending support you poured out for me. Thank you for being present in my life. Thank you for being great role models. Honestly, thank you for EVERYTHING.
I'd be lying if I said being your little sister is easy. Because the truth is: It isn't. You two are such incredible individuals and due to that I have some really large shoes to fill. Somedays, that's discouraging. But most days, it's motivation to be the best me I can be. Our parents have incredible expectations that I have to meet (and I only have you two to thank for those). I appreciate the legacy you've left behind for me, because without it, I don't think I'd be half of the person I am today. Growing up the youngest of two successful, God-fearing, and compassionate individuals can seem intimidating, but I've loved nearly every moment of it. It's been tough, I'll admit. But with your love and support, I've made it through and I'm eternally grateful.
You two have impacted my life more than you'll probably ever know. I've looked up to the both of you my whole life. I learned how to be a daughter and sister by mirroring what you two do.
Both of you have served as my lifelong best friends. You've been there for literally everything, including my birth. You guys understand me like nobody else does, and you always will. We've shared so many laughs and created so many memories that I'll cherish forever. We've shared secrets among the years and we've created timeless inside jokes (literally every time we're together) and whenever we're together we always lose track of time. There will never be better friends than the both of you, I'm certain of it. We've made plans to be in each other's weddings and we share a deep love for Disney World. When I was younger, and y'all would babysit me, our age difference of twelve and six years seemed so much larger than it does today. Today, I feel like we're only a year a part. And I appreciate that, because you two don't baby me. You treat me like I'm an adult. Thank you for that.
But most importantly, you've always supported me no matter what and it was never a question whether or not you were there for me. No matter what my crazy ambitious mind comes up with, the two of you always back me up. You attended each and every dance recital, cheer or dance competition, football game, etc. You drove me to practices for the various organizations and teams I was a part of. You always made sure that at least one of you was there. You've never missed a birthday and we've spent nearly every holiday together. Even though I'm at Baylor, you both keep my LSU spirit alive. You two are the best, I'm certain of it.
Nobody will ever compare or relatively come close to either of you. I love you both dearly.
All my love,
Jessica-Michelle
