Sister, I am extremely proud of the person you are becoming. You are an absolute sweetheart and the kindest person I know. You are my best friend and may judge me at times for my mistakes, but I know you have learned from the best. You are wise beyond your years, and you always teach me something new. I love you, and I would kill for you.
When I heard the news I was going to be a big sister, I wasn’t all that excited until the day you were born. You were the tiniest baby, and I fell in love. I held you in my arms and didn’t want to let go until you cried or had to be changed (I was 4 at the time, give me a break). There I was, feeding you until you couldn’t eat anymore, and I couldn’t wait for you to start playing with big girl toys so that I could have someone to play with. I just couldn’t wait for you to grow up.
When we were younger, I didn’t know you were looking up to me and wanted to be like your big sister. There were many times I let you down and should’ve known better. I regret the times I made you cry and the pain I caused you. I know I wasn’t the perfect sister, but I tried. How could I be mad at you when you wanted to be like me? If I knew then what I know now, I would’ve been nicer and not have taken you for granted. I just want to say I’m sorry for making you cry because I was a moody teenager. You are an absolute blessing in my life.
As we grew older, you got into my stuff, and I would yell at you for touching my things. Now I have to worry about you wearing my clothes and wondering if I’ll ever see my favorite T-shirt again. We would fight and be so mean to one another. Then once we got over it, we were best friends again. It's hard for me to grasp the idea that you’re growing up. You’re wearing makeup, going out with your friends and about to start dating. That boy better be ready for me, because I am going to be momma bear! Also, I pray for the boy who breaks your heart, because he will have to face me, and we both know that won’t end well.
You’re starting to plan your future and go off into this mess of a world. I know whatever life throws at you, you can handle it. You are strong, independent and will not let anyone stop you to your destination. I wish I was more like you at your age. I admire you for your creative mind and kind soul. You the most beautiful person I know and the most stubborn. You are a pain in my ass at times, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. You are my best friend, and I would be completely lost without you. You are my light, and I look up to you! Just know I will always be here for you and move heaven and earth to find you. I love you, and I am so proud of you!
