Dear Little Brother,
I miss you kiddo. I really miss you. I miss you barging into my room and annoying the life out of me. I miss our movie nights with junk food and popcorn on Saturday nights. I miss driving you and your friends all around town because dad told me too. I miss our stupid sibling arguments that always ended in someone getting in trouble (usually me because I'm the older one).
Now that I am in college without you, I don't have an annoying kid constantly asking me for something or just bothering me for no good reason. I miss it.
Pick up my random FaceTime calls at 2 a.m. I get lonely, OK? I want to talk to my baby brother and just see your face. When I come home from school for breaks, let me squeeze and hug you with joy. Let me suffocate you in love and attention. I do it because I miss seeing you every day and now that I don't see you very often, when I get the chance, I'm going to drown you in love, whether you like it or not.
Don't grow up. I remember when you were first born and I was amazed at the fact that I now had a little brother that was so small and cute. To me, you will always be my baby brother no matter how old or big you get. But do me a favor: please don't grow up. Don't get too old and too cool to hang out with me. I never want you to stop coming to me for anything, even if it's just to steal my Hot Cheetos or something.
It's hard for me to grasp the fact that as you get older, your interests are changing. You no longer want to hang out with your big sister on a Friday night. Now you want to go out to parties with your friends. And you are now at the age where girls are coming into the picture. OH, LORD! I know there are girls your age just throwing themselves at you and there's no way for me to know who and know what you decide to do with that. Just know, before you get a girlfriend or anything like that, I'm going to need to approve them. As your big sister, it is my responsibility. You are my baby brother and whether you like it or not, I am so protective of you.
The day when you are taller and stronger than me will be the day when you may feel that you need to protect me. Aside from this, I am still the older sister. I will always have your back and no matter what the circumstances. I will come to your rescue any time you need it. I will always be a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to.
So, in conclusion, your big sister loves and misses you beyond words. You will grow up to be a responsible and handsome young man, and I am so proud of you. I will always be there for you and I will have your back until the day I die.
Love Always,
Your Big Sister
P.S. Please stop growing up. Thanks.
