Hey Buddy,

Growing up with you by my side has been a rollercoaster, and you're one of the few people who knows exactly where I'm coming from if I ever have a problem, and I need to thank you for that.

I miss picking you up from school and getting a bite to eat, or goofing off and having a jam sesh in the car to songs I don't know (you keep me hip), thank you.

You've got a hard head on your shoulders, and you need to be open to more people, but right now you're headed in a good direction. High school is almost over, and I promise it's going to get better afterwards.

Not having my little brother with me at school to fight with is really weird, and it feels wrong arguing with anyone else. By the way, when I come home for the weekend and you act all nice to me, I know you missed me, even if you don't say it out loud. Thanks for always arguing with me, and pretending to argue with me to annoy mom.

I used to hate how close we were in age, but when we actually get along, it's nice to know that my brother will go see a movie with me or go get food with me, even if you make me pay. Thanks for being my friend when I don't have anyone else around.

STOP BEING SO MEAN TO MOM! She's done so much, and I know you get irritated with her, and so do I. She's done everything she can for us, and we turned out pretty well. It's our turn to say thank you for everything, and the least you can do is listen to her.

Also, I know you get your license in three months, be careful please. I know you're a better driver than me, but just remember that there's other people on the road, and other people's life in your hands....Actually, just be careful in general, whether you're driving or not you're kinda reckless.

All in all, you've got a good head on your shoulder, and I know you're going places, just do what you have to do to make it through the rest of high school and you will be on your way. Thanks for being one of my best friends.

Love,

Your Big Sis
