Dear Big,

I don't know how I ever got lucky enough to be your little. You are my role model. You are so strong and intelligent and I hope one day I will be half as cool as you.

You don't take shit from anyone, and you've taught me how to stand up for myself. You know when people are bad for me before I even do.

You help me see wonderful things in myself I didn't even know were there. You are my cheerleader but you're also not afraid to tell me when I'm being a dumbass.

You have made more of an impact in my life than you can even fathom. You've molded my political views and I ended up changing my major to your major. But you've also taught me how to be a better sister.

Whenever something happens, you're the first one I want to call. You were there for me on the most traumatic day of my life and you've also celebrated all my wins with me.

I swear I look cuter wearing your clothes than I do wearing my own.

Now everything I've said thus far as been pretty nice. But I actually have a bone to pick with you.

Why do you have to graduate? Why can't you live just down the street from me forever? Why can't I see you every weekend for all infinity? What's gonna happen when I need a hug and you're off far away being a real adult?

Needless to say I'm a bit upset. You've become a staple in my college experience. Campus won't be the same without you.

But I know you're about to kill it in the real world. You are so talented! You have big things ahead of you. I can't wait for the day when I will get to say "I knew her when."

Thank you for everything. I am eternally grateful that you are a part of my life. Don't forget, no matter how far you go, you're still stuck with me.

Love,

Your Little
