To my two wonderful sisters,

This is going to sound mushy and cheesy, but I really do appreciate and love everything that you guys do for me and have done for me. I am glad to have you in my life because otherwise, it would be uninteresting and boring without you two by my side. I know that we have our fights and our arguments, but even the biggest arguments we manage to push aside and help each other out when we need it most and I am grateful for that.

Thank you for cheering me up when I have had a rough day at work or am just feeling a bit more depressed than usual. Coming home and getting a hug or watching a funny video together always makes me feel better. It's also awesome to know that you guys are willing to go the extra mile to cheer me up or have fun with me. Your hugs mean the world to me and they make me feel a lot better. Thank you for nerding out with me. We have our own interests and our differences, but there are some memes and other fandom ideas that we share in common and I'm glad I can be myself around you guys. You accept my nerdy adventures such as cosplay, drawing, and writing and don't ask me why I am so weird.

Thank you for the support. There were many times where I didn't feel confident or I was second guessing myself and you two, along with our parents, were there helping me through the toughest decisions of my life. From choosing which major I should go into to picking out which dress I should wear to a formal ball, you guys were there helping me along the way by offering grade-A advice and life lessons. When I have any form of anxiety or depression, I know that I can rely on you and our parents to understand what exactly is going through my mind without me having to express it in full.

Thank you for being people that I can look up to. You guys probably don't know it, but I look up to you two a lot as role models. You both are extraordinary young women, confident in themselves and something that I aspire to be. You both are passionate about what you do whether it be helping kids through a five-week summer camp or teaching people about the grammar and structure of German and I hope I can be as passionate about what I do like you guys.

Thank you for helping me study. You guys know some of my weaker subjects are your stronger subjects and vice versa. Helping me out with finals or just a simple vocab quiz goes a long way and I appreciate the help.

Thank you for all of the funny faces. We have a tradition in our little group of three where we make funny faces at each other from across the room. Whether we are at dance or at home, the funny faces always make me laugh even if they do make me laugh at an inappropriate moment. Thank you for letting me borrow your clothes willingly or unwillingly. I'm sorry for taking your clothes without asking, but I'm glad I get to share a style with you guys.

Thank you for accepting me for who I am and helping to fight battles that I wouldn't have been able to fight by myself. Being accepted by two people who I love and I look up to, as well as our parents, is the best feeling in the world and it lets me know that I can go to you guys about anything whether it be anxiety or my next cosplay plans. We all have our battles that we can't fight on our own and you guys have helped me through a few of these by comforting me or by helping me figure out what my next move. I will be there for you and I will help you two kick the butt of whoever hurts you and we'll be side by side.

I love you two with all my heart and you two make great role models. I'm sure you will succeed in whatever you put your mind to. Again, I thank you guys for being you!

Love,

Alyssa
