I consider myself a lucky one, to have grown up with four older siblings, but even luckier to have grown closer to each and every one of them. I consider myself a lucky one to have a best friend in each and every one especially out of my big sister who is 3 years older than me, but it honestly feels as if she's the same age sometimes. To have a best friend in a sister is about the greatest gift and here's a few things I have to thank my big sister for doing for me.
Hey sis thanks for:
Playing Mom:
You know those weekends in the summer when mom and dad were sick of us and ditch us and leave us to fend for ourselves. Well it normally ends up in you making us dinner, because I'm incapable of doing so. Thanks for always cooking me turkey burgers, making salads, and then making me pay for ice cream later in return.
Sharing your friends with me:
My friends tend to live a lot further away because of where my school location is, my friends also tend not to be 21 yet. So when the weekend comes and we want to go out, thanks for sharing your friends and letting me tag along. Wait, this has been happening since I was 12 not 21. Hey, thanks for that too, your friends are my friends, my friends are your friends....right? Either way, thanks for always inviting me out to whatever your up to, and guaranteeing a good time with my sis.
For your closet:
I mean this one goes both ways doesn't it? There are endless days where I wake up missing some article of clothing only to learn later you decided to wear it to work and vice versa. Thanks for always sharing, or maybe not sharing but I stole it anyway, your clothes with me. I mean who can beat having two wardrobes at their disposable? Lets be honest, that's one of the hardest parts about leaving for school, is we both loose one half of our closet.
Letting me beat you up, but still loving me:
I feel like this doesn't need much explanation. Whether the fight was because we were actually angry at eachother or just because we were messing around, I usually won. (That's the truth) But no matter what, ten minutes later, or twenty depending on the damage done, you always still loved me. You normally can't find a best friend that lets you beat them up but will still love you, so thanks for that.
Always coming to support me:
I know theatre isn't your strong suit, nor do you understand half of what goes on during the shows, but I can always count on you to be out in the house watching. You did understand soccer and I could always count on you to be out in the stands cheering me on whenever you could be around for a game. Supporting me whenever you could, being my second biggest fan...I don't think anyone can beat mom. Sorry.
Making endless amounts of stories:
We'll keep most of these stories to ourselves, but we have plenty stories, and memories created and none of them would be possible without you.
For being my bestie:
No matter what you're my best friend and my sister, which is the best combination. I always have someone to go out with, stay in with, fight with, and complain to. Thanks for being the bees knees and always watching Highschool Musical on Netflix with me. Your the best sister and best friend a girl could have...we're a pretty great pair.
