Dear Sister,
It seems just like yesterday I saw you for the first time. And I thought to myself that, that is the person that I want to be like when I get older. I saw how close you were with others and I wanted to be that close to you too. I was in an awkward stage of my life and I wanted someone to help me through life. We began talking and you treated me just like any other person would. As time went on, you treated me differently. You treated me like I was part of your family, rather than just your friend. You saw my flaws and my imperfections and helped me work through them. You gave the best hugs that I could ask for and you were my sholder to cry on. I knew I could tell you anything. We hung out occasionally and told each other everything. You started to tell me a lot too and I was there for you, just like you were there for me.
When times got tough, we had different ways of approaching these times. When we weren’t talking, I wasn’t myself. I didn’t tell anyone what was going on. I just kept it to myself. It was a lot different. I would think about you just about everyday. I constantly thought of ways to change the situation and make it better. I would tell my friends the situation but I wouldn’t say your name. It was none of their business to know who I wasn’t talking to.
Within a few days, we would sit and talk and makeup. However, I could tell there was still something wrong with our relationship but I wasn’t sure what it was. We just started to talk again and maybe it was awkward for you, but neither of us said anything.
But as time went on, things got a lot better. We started to hang out again and started to go back to normal. Things became less awkward for both of us. We would hang out more and we started to go to each other more. We would tell each other our deepest secrets and started to become “sisters” again. You were still that person that I trusted. Your name appeared on my “who can Kaitlyn trust list.” You told me you were always there for me and to this day, that still holds true.
In conclusion, I just wanted to thank you. Thank you for being there. Thank you for letting me into your life. Thank you for giving the best hugs. Thank you for the advice. And lastly, thank you for being the sister I never had.
Love,
The little sister that you never had.
