To my big brother,
First things first, I love you. I've never said it enough and I'll never be able to say it enough. I love you, I love you, I love you. Those three little words, just three words, they don't even begin to cover how much you mean to me.
You have done everything for me, even when you didn't realize it. You protected me and kept me safe, even when I didn't realize it. You have always been my best friend, always someone to guide me along. You held my hand when I was scared, gave me a little push when I needed one. You covered my eyes when the movie was too scary or took me out of them room if Mom and Dad were fighting. We played with my toys when I wanted to and you pushed me on the swing set all afternoon. We played Cowboys and Indians or the princess and the dragon. You never complained when I picked the movie to watch in the car, even if we had seen it 900 times. I cried when I feel off my bike while learning how to ride, and you were the one that picked me back up and out me back on. You never let me quit, wheather it was riding the bike or in sports or trying to win the clean plate compition, you never let me quit. My sense of competition came from you and how you always had to be the best.
Thank goodness you were never afraid to tell me the truth, because if not, I would have walked out the house in some weird outfits or done some pretty stupid things. We always took care of each other, helped each other. Thank you for never being afraid to tell me the truth and not just what I wanted to hear, thats what real friends are for.
Of course we fought, we fought like cats and dogs. I don't know how Mom and Dad didn't throw us out on the streets. But in the end the fighting didn't matter, you would always come say good night and the next morning everything was forgotten. The fighting probably took a tole on Mom and Dad and maybe gave them a few grey hairs, but it brought us closer. Our memories together are my most precious. When I think of my childhood, you're in every single memory. I wouldn't trade you for the world, even if I threatened to a few times.
You never minded when I hung out with you and your friends, or maybe you did mind, but were too kind to ever say anything. My friends were your friends and your friends my friends. We grew up around the same people, and grew up into being the same person, which is a person I'm happy to be. Being like you is the biggest compliment anyone could ever pay me. Growing up, I wanted to be just like you, even if you were a little weird. You have made me into a better person, you are someone I always have, and always can look up to. You set the example, and you set a good one.
Thank you for always having my back, no matter what. Thank you for loving me; I'm sure it was hard at times. Having a little sister can't be easy, but you are the best big brother anyone could ask for. I love you forever, best friend.
Love always,
Your little sister
