I don't know what I would have done without you by my side. When we were younger, I would be fascinated by this beautiful older individual who seemed so independent, so strong, and so sure of herself. Even though we butted heads like crazy when we were little, I would always try to imitate your moves or follow you when you were with your friends. I wanted to be just like you and to show off my cool big sis to the world.

As years went by, we grew a lot closer. We started telling each other everything, and are there for each other through laughter and tears. We still fight like little kids, but at the end of the day, there is no one that could break our bond. Whether it is about school, boys, friends, or the weirdest stuff ever, you are always someone I can talk to. You are my best friend, and you've taught me so much.

I want to say thank you. Thank you so much for staying up late at night to make sure I got home safe. Thank you for always listening to what I have to say without passing any judgement. Thank you for not getting mad at me for stealing all your clothes, or constantly crashing your place. Thank you for giving me advice on everything and teaching me how to be a young adult without losing my inner child. Thank you, for all the times you made me laugh and for all the times you wiped away my tears and reminded me that I was important.

I want to say I'm sorry for any time I hurt you, or didn't express how lucky I am to have you. One of my biggest flaws is I take out anger on the ones I love the most, and this can push people away. But it never has pushed you away. Instead, you remind me the value of relationships and that it is okay to make mistakes at times; after all, I'm only human.

I can't think of a time you didn't come through for me. But truth is, I can't think of a time you didn't come through for anyone. You have such a pure heart, and I hope nobody ever hurts you because they will be hurting someone who will give up the world so others can be happy. God bless you always. I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished; all the hours you put in, sacrifices you make, and things you do are going to pay off one day. And I can't wait to be next to you when they do.

And lastly, I want to say I love you. You give me a reason to keep fighting everyday, and because of you, I have grown so much. I'm so lucky you're my sister. I want to end this with a promise that I will never leave your side. No matter where we are, we stick together, as sisters and best friends.
