Dear Craig,
I would like to say first off that I am sorry for stealing your spotlight, it is already really hard going from an only child to one with a sibling but I probably made it even worse when I was born on your 4th birthday. Birthday Twins, haha!
Growing up with a big brother I feel like I constantly wanted to do whatever you were doing. I would try and seem cool all the time so I could hang out with you for even an afternoon.
We always got along really well when we were younger, I don't really remember us being those siblings that got on each other's nerves. Whether it was watching a movie or practicing drawing I feel like we were always doing something where our ideas bounced off each other. And I don't think that is a bond that many siblings have.
Some girls might have to have a big brother because they feel like they patrol their life and never let them do anything. But I never felt that way with you. I always knew that you would be there to protect me but never restrict me from doing something that I actually wanted to do.
You have rescued me from some pretty risky situations, and I basically never have any idea what I am doing and you are always there to help me out.
I want to thank you for being your own person and never sticking to a path that you didn't want. You always do what you want to do and do what makes you the happiest and that is something that I really admire of you because I feel like I should learn to have more of backbone as you do.
I love how now that we are older we can talk about real people things. We can talk about how we are feeling and things that we are going through in life to try and help each other out. It makes me so happy that I am rediscovering a best friend that has been there my entire life. I can't wait to grow all old with you and make our kids hang out. Please promise me there will never be any family drama between us and we spend every holiday together, okay?
Love you long time broski,
Anna
