First off, thank you for being one of my big supporters. It's crazy to think that when we were little I wanted to do everything you did. (Most of the time, I ended up getting in trouble). Remember the doll house? Thanks for laughing at me for that too. Thank you for being my BEST FRIEND. The one I can text about absolutely anything, and I literally mean anything. I'd be lost without you as my older cousin, to teach me life lessons that maybe no one else can. You've experienced most things that I haven't yet, and I know when I do and I get scared or something goes wrong, I can call you and you'll be right there for me. Or if I call you just to fill you in on things.

Words can't really explain how thankful I am to have you as my cousin. Although there was a little point where we distant, probably because you went off to college and I was still in high school. But ever since you've graduated, we've become closer again. You're the best "big sister" any girl could ask for. Thank you for being my role model. Thank you for putting up with my sassiness, I know you love me even more in those moments. For teaching me that some people aren't as important as I thought they actually were. Letting me know that boy was no good for me and I could do better. All the little things - playing Castle Panic with Shari & Giselle (they're practically my older sisters as well), wanting to know every little detail about things that went on. You guys somehow always manage to get it out of me.

(That's literally you and Shari towards me)

At the end of the day, I realize that you're my person. And you always will be. I can count on you to tell me that "everything will be okay". Thank you for showing me good songs; whether they're old or new - having singing sessions with you and watch you make a fool out of yourself. (I guess that's where I get it from). But to say the least, we all know I'm the better dancer.

You're my friend for life and that's why we are cousins. I can't believe all you've accomplished so far and I'm so proud to say you're my older cousin. You're my go-to girl when I'm having a rough day, my right hand. I even recently asked you a question about school and you found someone to see if I did it right, (even though they messed up the first time). You know how to make me laugh - but you also know when to piss me off. I'm so happy we're family and we're stuck with each other. I love you more than anything Cassie, and I'm happy that we're able to be close with each other and talk to each other about anything. I'll always be a mini you! No matter how old I get.
