My Dearest Little Sister,

You annoy me. You bug me, you chase me around, you drive me crazy in every way, shape, or form. But after all of these years together, after the yelling and the punching, I thought I would remind you that no matter what you do, I will still love you.

I will still love you when you slam the door in my face.

I will still love you even when you take my clothes, put them in your backpack, and then change into them at school so you think I won't notice. Oh my sweet little sister, I will always notice.

I will still love you when the stupid little boy tells you that you're not pretty. When he decides that he no longer likes you, it doesn't matter. Because I will always like you; heck, I'll even always love you.

I will still love you when you sneak out in the middle of the night and Mom finds out that you're gone. And you get yelled at and you get punished and when you're sitting in your room all alone, I will come in. I'll sneak you up some snacks.

I will still love you when that history test didn't go as well as you thought. It's OK; not everyone is going to remember every single detail of the Civil War.

I will still love you after every fight, argument, or bicker. No matter what you call me, no matter what you say, I will love you no matter what, you little butthead.

I will still love you even though you continue to step on the back of my flip-flops to purposely try to annoy me. Which by the way is really annoying so if you could stop that, that would be great.

I will still love you when you put on that really not-so-cute matching outfit. It really doesn't match at all, and a lot of people keep looking at you weirdly, but hey, you think you look really good in it and that means I think you look good too.

You can never mess up too badly or make a big enough mistake to no longer be my little sister. Therefore my sweet, my love is yours forever.
