Growing up, not a day went by that I didn’t want to share my day with you. I couldn’t wait to tell you about what happened in third period involving one of our crushes, or that Tina punched Jordan in the face in the locker room, or hell, even about what kind of food I ate for lunch.
What was said never really mattered as long as we were talking.
Sharing is caring. Am I right? Even when you or I didn’t want to share something, we usually did, sometimes very reluctantly. Whether it was a bedroom, a bathroom, clothes from our closets, food off of our plates or even boys (this is when things can get a little hairy), what’s mine is yours… within reason.
Don’t touch my Colour Pop lipstick and we won’t have any issues.
If someone is doing you wrong, best believe I will be the FIRST one to come jump someone for you. I can say things about you, but as soon as someone else starts talking bad about you, that’s it. They are done for. Nobody messes with my sister.
We did literally everything together, and leaving for college was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. We were now five and a half hours away from each other, which meant if I wanted to see you it would have to be through facetime whenever we both had some time to spare.
I couldn’t just walk to the other end of the house to vent anymore, and I definitely couldn’t be there with you for any school function you may have had.
I miss sitting with you and talking about anything and everything.
I miss listening to you sing while you were doing the dishes or walking around in the house.
I miss being able to hug you and tell you I loved you every day. I miss being able to walk into your room and lay on top of you when you were playing on your phone when I was in need of attention.
I miss everything about you and everything that we used to do together.
One day you’ll graduate from high school, and one day you’ll have to pick a big kid school. I can recommend that you come to Ole Miss so you’ll be closer to me obviously, but ultimately it’s your life and it’s your decision to make.
You are so smart and so well-rounded and I know you can do just about anything you want to do if you would just try a little bit. Please don’t get discouraged with yourself if you fail a test or fail a class. I don’t care about your GPA or your future education plans.
All I care about is you and what makes you happy.
There are many days that we don’t speak at all. Some days we are both busy and simply forget. That’s okay because we both know that if we needed our sister that she would be there no questions asked.
To Lauren, Myrah, and Marleigh: I love each of you differently, and I love each of you the most. You’ll always be my sisters, even when we are miles apart and even when we don't always talk.
We share the same blood. So that means that no matter what happens between us in this life, you will always be a part of me and I will be a part of you.
