It’s funny when they talk about how much younger siblings look up their older sibling, because I look up to you all the time. I love the way you continue to dream big and always fight for what you believe is true. Don’t me wrong, you could get on my last nerve too, but I think about how blessed I am that God let’s me be your big sister. It keeps me accountable for my actions, because just like I look up to you, I know you look up to me too.

I love when you ask for advice like you expect me to have all the right answers. In case you were wondering, I don’t. But I will continue giving you the best advice I can think of. I might not know what to do all the time, but I love that you feel like you could confide in me.

I will let you down. I have let you down in the past, and I could assure you that I will let you down in the future. What I can promise you is that I will never stop loving or caring for you. I make mistakes because I am not perfect and I do not have my whole life together, despite how much I act like I do. The mistakes I make, I pray you learn from, and the one’s you don’t, I hope I learned from them so I could guide you the right way.

I only want the best for you. I protect you, not because I’m trying to start an argument, but because I genuinely want you to succeed in life. When you start dating, I will be over-protective, because I know what you deserve, even if you don’t think you do.

I am so proud of you, and I know that I don’t tell you that enough. The decisions you make prove to me that you will succeed beyond measures. I pray that you continue to live a God-bearing life, and never give up on those crazy dreams of yours. I will love you always, and always be unbelievably grateful that God blessed me with you as my little sibling.
