It's no secret every sister wants the older brother that is going to look after her and make sure she's ok. Brothers are like safety nets for sisters. They give you someone to always rely on when things aren't going your way. If you're lucky like me, your older brother has friends who are basically your family. I couldn't be more grateful for all of you.

I don't think just saying thank you could do justice for what you guys have done for me. You gave me a bigger family than I could have ever hoped for. That's something I will never forget. Thank you for having my back through high school and college. I remember walking into the first day of high school knowing I had all my brothers there to get me where I needed to go.

I know you always looked out for me as if I was your own sister. Not everyone gets a blessing like that. Thank you for not treating me like I'm the little sister that just bugs everyone. Thank you for letting me be friends with you guys and making me feel included. My brother is one of my favorite people in the whole world, and the fact I was able to be apart of his friends was a big deal for me. You never treated me like I didn't belong and you always looked at me as if I was family too.

Thank you for being my family. Coming to visit you guys is always the highlight of any weekend. I plan out when I can go visit next because it's always a good time being around you guys. Thank you for letting me hang out with you guys, and be apart of your friend group for a little while. You guys have turned out to be some of my best friends.

Thank you for being my brothers. Thank you for always having my back and always looking out for me even if that meant counting strikes against guys because they did something wrong. I can always count on you guys to tell me if there is something wrong with a guy. There are few people I would rather spend my weekends with than you guys. You are my favorite people to spend my time with and I don't see that changing any time soon.

Thank you for always letting me come visit and intrude on your plans. I know it's not super cool to have a little sister hanging around, but you guys have always welcomed me with open arms.

From sledding down hills on polar bear sleds to being the only people to celebrate my 21st birthday with me, you guys have always been there for me. I couldn't be more thankful that my brother met people like you. He may think he gained some pretty great friends, but the truth is I gained some pretty great brothers.
