You left today for your last year of college…
You are my rock even when you don’t want to be. You are my laughter when I am sadness. You kick my a*&% when I definitely need it. You’re one tough gal. That is why this year I am going to really miss you.
Everything changes after this year. Walk across that stage strutting your hot stuff. You go out into the world standing tall with that brilliant smile. You will be nothing but successful.
There is definitely been some hard times. We fight majority of the time but I always miss it. You are the person that I take most of my anger out on because I know you can give it back to me just as much. You are strong person. I don’t want you to ever feel guilty that you went to school and I stayed home. I know that I have been so hard on you about that. I apologize for it all.
The memories are the best. The time I drove you to the movies and the door started to open on your side. The many times we tried playing dominos with grandma and couldn’t control my laughter. The many times we jammed out in our car rides together. The way too many shopping trips we took and new mom would yell at us later. The good times we have as a family. The time we went over to Aunt Amy’s house and you basically broke everything. The time you woke me up at five in the morning to kill a spider in the shower so you could get ready for school. The time you went away for the weekend and I ended up missing my bus because I didn’t have you to wake me up. Also, the numerous times we had to come up with ninja moves to kill the spiders in the house.
I do appreciate all the good stuff you have given me. You protect me. You cook for me because I would burn down the house if you weren’t around. You never looked at me different when I was sick, you made me feel like I was me. You tell me I don’t get to quit that I have to get up and try again. Without you I wouldn’t have any jokes to tell. You showed me how to have great handwriting for a lefty. You were there for me even when you were in a different country.
I am such a proud sister. I am who I am because of you. I make decisions based on how you have taught me. I steer away from danger because of you. I seek advice from you. I am grateful for you. I love the bond that we have. I love you with all my heart.
Enjoy this year, Sis. You’ve conquered the odds. You’ve not just made me proud but this whole family. You will do so much. I am completely blessed to have you in my life. I can’t wait to see what great things you are going to do.
Sincerely,
Your better half
