Dear brother,
I know I've been away for the past few months and you probably aren't looking forward to me coming home because it means you won't be the only child under the roof anymore, but get ready because here I come, after this finals week.
Just know that I'm excited to come home.
You've done a year of growing up since I left and I'm ready to get to tell you the stories and of the stupid stuff I've done since I've been gone. I'm also ready to hear your side of the story that mom already told me, but I'm sure your side of it is way more exciting.
I hope you know that I expect us to do a good amount of adventuring together before I have to come back to school. I know you'll probably be irritated with me and call me annoying, but you'll deal.
Just know that I realized that it won't always just be me and you.
After a year away from home, I've realized that one day we'll both choose where we want to settle down and start a real adult life. The chances of us settling down in the same place is probably slim because we are both completely different people. So me being annoying is me telling you that I love you and I miss you already.
Just know that I'm ready to teach you.
Okay so I know I'll be stressed but I am so ready to help teach you how to drive. I'm ready for you to take the wheel of Gloria and to show me what you got. Mom and Dad are both busy with work and I'm sure I will be too, but I cannot wait to help you learn how to do a big adult thing.
Just know that I still have an attitude.
I know I'm sitting here saying that you're so great and I'm ready to get along. But just remember that I haven't had anyone to fight and bicker with for almost a full year. Since you're the one that I grew up bickering with, get ready because I'm sassy and attitude-y as ever.
Just know that you're my best friend.
Being that you're my only sibling and I'd rather have a brother than a sister any day, you are my best friend. Through the years of sharing rooms, the laughs, the tears and the shared backseat through all of the road trips, you are my life best friend. So know that even when we're old, I'm going to text you even if you won't respond because you suck at texting back.
Just know that I want to be more like you.
Remember that even though I'm older, you're better than me. You're so selfless and a cool person all around and I want to be like you. So when it seems that I'm 'copying' you, it's because I have realized how cool you are in this past year.
Sorry that I embarrass you daily,
Your big sister.
