Dear Older and Younger Sister,

This letter is written to you because I know the things I will say you think about too. We fight, we scream at each other, we take each other's clothes, we pull each others hair. We are sisters. I just want to tell you that you are valued. You mean so much to me, and I know that I mean that much more to you. I am so thankful that God has put both of you in my life. I often have dreams about losing you and wake up crying. I know that you have been put into my life to help me make it through as painless as possible. You will never know how much I appreciate just having you in my presence. There are things that I want you to know.

First, you are lovely. Lovely in all ways imaginable. Physically, mentally, and spiritually, you are lovely, and for that you make me strive to be just like you. Next, you are gifted. We all each have our own talents and we all share them in different ways. You are smart. Never let anyone question your intelligence...even if it is me. I want you to remember this even when you are struggling with something. I want you to think about the talents you have. You are definitely the most talented at being my sister. One last thing, don't ever forget this one:you are protected. By having sisters, you have your own bodyguards. They may not be the biggest or meanest, but they will always be in your corner. So, to both of my sisters: I love you very much.

Now, to my little sister. I was living 9 years of my life and then you threw everything off. In saying that I have no idea what I would do without you now. You have taught me many things that you don't even realize. One of those things being that someone is always watching and looking up to you. I didn't realize some of the things I did or said until you came along. By the way, don't do everything I do... It might get you in some trouble... Another thing you taught me was patience. Now, this one I am still working on. I have gotten a little better but you be patient with me and I will try my best to do better. Little did I know at 9 years old I would have another life long best friend. I love you!

To my older sister, where do I start? Maybe the part where you dumped me on my head as a baby... I got it you didn't like the idea of me when we were little, but it's okay—all is forgiven. We have been through a lot already, and there is so much more life to live. To you, I need to say thank you. Thank you for being there for all the new challenges in life that you had already faced. Thank you for holding my hand when I cried. Thank you for being my best friend that I got to live with. I should probably also tell you sorry for telling on you a lot... Sorry about that. I guess you've gotten over it by now. I also need my clothes back... I love you.

P.S.

I'm the favorite kid. :)
