Dear sibling,

Another great summer is coming to an end and now comes the time to go back to school. This causes so much excitement for the both of us. Unfortunately, this also brings a little bit of sadness too because that means that our time together now comes to an end. All of the singing duets, making fun of mom, and petty arguments are over for another couple of months. I will no longer have someone to run errands with, watch Netflix all day with, or help me around the house. It makes me sad to be separated because no one gets me like you do. While I am at home for the few days until I move back to school, the house already feels empty. Although it’s awesome with the dog, I find that I have more fun with you.

But despite all of the sadness and loneliness, you should know something very important. You should know how incredibly proud and happy I am for you. There is no one that understands you better than a sibling and I am proud to see you grow and accomplish all of your goals that you are working towards. I wish that we were closer to each other so that I could see you more, but I am happy that you are on your own gaining your own independence. I know that you will make a big difference in this world, and for that we need to part ways. I know that we both love our schools and are destined for great things, so I encourage you to keep pursuing your dreams.

I can’t wait to be reunited over breaks, but I want you to have fun and learn lots. I can’t wait to hear all of crazy stories from the semester about you and your friends. Best of luck in this upcoming school year, and I look forward to the day that we are reunited again for some good sibling bonding. Until then, make sure that you go to class, visit the library once in a while, and have so much fun and make so many memories. Try to stay out of trouble and hit me with a Facetime whenever you can.

XOXO,

Your sib
