First off, I love you. You and your family have become a huge part of my life. I am the youngest of three kids, so I dreamed of having a little sister and she would be just like you. Sometimes I tell people you’re my sister, not Ryan’s. You are one of my favorite people and I am so lucky to have you in my life.

I love that we can talk about things, that you trust me enough to tell me things and let me in. I love our talks and the trust we have with each other. You can always come to me with anything and I will be there. If you need a ride to or from school, or if you want to go to lunch and especially if you need a shoulder to cry on, I will be there. I love the times we have spent together, especially when we watched "High School Musical" together in sweatpants. It meant so much to me when you asked me to go prom shopping with you and your family. I never had someone like you in my life. You have become my sister and I will always be there for my “sister."

I admire you so much. You are such a beautiful, funny, kind, tough and creative girl. You are only two years younger than me, but I wish I was as mature as you when I was your age. I admire how you don’t let anyone put you down. I wish I was like that. I hope you realize how amazing you are. I don’t think you know how much your brother loves you, but he thinks the world of you. You are his best friend and you have become mine.

You welcomed me with opened arms -- thank you so much for that. You have supported your brother and our relationship since we started it. You have accepted me so quickly into your life -- thank you so much for that. You were rooting for us even before we were dating. You predicted us dating before we even know we liked each other.

Thank you so much for being my sister. You are such a big part of my life and I am so lucky to have you. I will always be here for you no matter what. I love you so much.
