I always grew up knowing that my dad had nine brothers and three sisters and I instantly knew that I wanted to have a sibling growing up, I wanted someone to get into trouble with, someone who would play with me, someone to hang out with, and just be there when I needed them. When I was eleven years old I had my wish come true.
My dad and stepmom told me I was getting a little sibling, I was so excited. I remember that my grandfather got a call July 1st, 2005 that my stepmom was having my little sister. I went to the hospital that day and got to hold this tiny human and instantly thought to myself that I hope I am the best big sister ever.
We may not be full sisters, but I claim her as my full. I didn’t live with my dad and still don’t but I go up there as much as I can. I go to all my little sister’s sports games, all her school functions, that I can make it too. I go to my dad’s as much as I can and spend time with her whether it is watching her while my dad and stepmom are at work or to take her to the school across the street and play basketball with her. She recently got a cell phone and snapchat, I love that she will snapchat me random things and ask how I’ve been when I am in school, and that we video chat here and there, just to check up on each other and see how everything is going.
I know for a fact that I would be lost without this little girl we may be eleven years apart but she is still my little sister and if I needed a shoulder to cry on she would be there. I know that when she gets her first heartbreak she is going to have to deal with not only our dad and her mom being there for her but also her big sister as well being there. My wedding day, whenever that may be, she will be in it, most likely as the maid of honor. She has always been here for me no matter what, I just hope that no matter what happens in our lives she is always in mine. I hope that my sister tells her friend about me and how proud she is of me, I hope that that she looks up to me. Even though we sometimes fight and get on each others nerves just remember little sister no matter what happens in our crazy livesI will always be your big sister and you will always be my little sister and that I love you more than you will ever know sister.
