Dear Sister,
I remember when we would play and play for hours, pretending we were princesses and superheroes. We would spend all day in our make believe world where we didn't need anything but each other. You were my first friend in this world. You were always just one wall away when I needed or wanted anything. Growing up, all I needed in the world was you. Sure we had our small fights, but they always ended up in laughter soon after they started.
As we got a little older, we traded plastic high heels for real ones, and make-believe boyfriends for real ones. We didn't spend the days with only each other, but you were still the one friend I knew I had. We may not have played Superwoman and Catwoman anymore, but you were always still there whenever I needed a hero. Our small fights over who got the remote in front of the TV turned into bigger fights over right and wrong that lasted longer than they used to, but you always forgave me no matter how wrong I was and vice versa.
As we continue getting older and we move through college and careers, we don't talk as much as we used to. We may not spend hours in each others rooms, we may not read magazines together and gossip constantly about every cute boy in our classes, but I you are still my go-to. We may be separated by a lot more than a wall now, but I know you are never more than a phone call away.
You've listened to my tears, my fears, my heartache, and my mistakes, yet you never once judged me for any of it. You know the parts of me that aren't the prettiest, and you still see me as beautiful. My whole life I have never felt alone, because I knew that I always had you. Through every fight, every competition, every tear shed, every heartbreak, you've been the only person in my corner throughout my whole life. You are always there to take my side even when you may not agree with it one hundred percent. You are my first friend, my best friend, my sister.
Thank you for not loving me just because you have to, but because you want to. Thank you for being the only person in the world who truly understands everything that I go through. We didn't choose to be sister. We were sisters by chance, but it was the luckiest that I have ever been to get a lifelong person like you in my life. Thank you for being my sister, but more importantly thank you for being my friend.
