Dear Sissy,
Although I may act like I’m too busy, or that I’m not paying attention to you, I promise you 100 percent that I do care. That is why this letter is to you. I wanted to say thank you. Not for anything in particular—just for being my younger sister. Thank you for loving me regardless of all the mistakes I have made in the past. You stuck around no matter how little or how big the mistakes were. You still supported me and that means a lot. Thank you for always doing the little favors I ask of you. Whether it is to go get me food from the kitchen or going on errands with me even when you never feel like it. Thank you for all the nights you stayed up with me while I was sick. I know you always wanted to go to bed, but you always stayed there holding the ginger ale. Thank you for listening to my bossiness as a child and still somehow ended up wanting to play with me every single day. (P.S. I know you didn’t want to learn how to tie your shoes at the age of 3, but I felt that it was necessary at the time).
Thank you for taking all the anger I take out on you by accident . I know the yelling and arguments are a lot, but you took them from me anyway, and we always made up in the end. Thank you for making stupid decisions with me and taking just as much of the blame as I did. You stood by my side no matter what. Thank you for the countless laughs day in and day out, even when we are miles away. I can always count on a FaceTime call or text from you to make me laugh. Thank you for always looking up to me.
Mom and Dad always told me since the day you were born that you were going to look up to me and I never believed them, but it made me become the person who I am today. Being your role model is something I will always cherish. Lastly, thank you for being my person always. If I want to cry, you’re there. If I want to call you and complain about life, you’re there. If I want to smile, you’re there. So little sister, thank you. Because whether you realize it or not, you are and always will be one of the biggest parts of my life and I can never say thank you enough.
Love always,
Your big sister
