Dear Brother,

I never told you how appreciative I am to have you, because the way we have always shown love is to see who can make a joke about the other last. I guess you are pretty cool and I wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for being a big support system. From the time I was just a little girl following you around and annoying you, you were the first to always believe in my dream. I hope to become an author one day and instead of questioning it, you just always told me to buy you a fancy car when it happens. That moment has always stuck with me because to me it meant that I always had at least one person who did not think I was crazy for wanting to be the next Nicholas Sparks, J.K. Rowling or Stephanie Meyer.

Thank you for protecting me. Whenever I have been upset or angry, it seemed to upset you or make you angry too. From discussing how to beat someone up to how to keep my head up, you have always been there to protect me. If I ever need to tap someone in during a fight, I know who to call.

Thank you for being weird. No matter what I do around you I know I cannot be judged because your weirdness surpasses mine. I apologize if you did not know this information, but I think it is time you know that you are a little weird. However, that is what makes life interesting with you. There will never be a dull moment with you around.

Last, thank you for showing me what a brother should be. One day (far from now), when I have children I hope to have a boy first and then a little girl. I want to make sure that my child has someone that reminds me of you looking after them. You were there whenever I needed a ride to school or a practice. You were there whenever I needed someone to make me laugh, and you were there even when I did not want you there.

Now I will be done with all the mushy stuff. Thank you for being someone I can look up to and someone who annoys me to no end at the same time.

Love always,

Your little sister
