"A women without her sister is like a bird without wings."
My sweet sweet sister,
I don't think you realize how thankful I am to have someone like you in my life. Just in case you are unsure of why you are so awesome, I wrote a letter to fill you in.
You have had my back since day one, literally. I obviously don't remember, but I have had the privilege to hear stories. The day I arrived there is a picture of you looking at me in mom's arms and the smile on your face was priceless. From then on, at five years old, you would take on a very influential role as my big sister.
At night, mom and dad would peek into your room to see you sleeping in your bed, only to find that you weren't there. Instead of your bed, you would sleep under my crib just to be close to me and make sure I was okay.
As we grew older we only became closer. Unlike other siblings, you included me in just about everything you did. You showed me off to your friends instead of trying to act too cool, even if we were five years apart. Our fights were minuscule and forgotten within a couple of hours. You sucked it up when I was being the spoiled younger sibling and never complained about me needing more attention.
I couldn't imagine growing up without you by my side. No matter where we are or what we're doing we always have a good time when we are together. We have inside jokes to last a lifetime and have shared countless secrets.
Thank you for always having my back, even if I was wrong. I always knew I didn't have to go through anything alone. Whenever I had a problem or was upset I knew I could come to you for advice and vice versa with open arms. You have always been there when I needed a shoulder to cry on and there to celebrate little victories.
Thank you for always being one of my biggest supporters. Thank you for the laughs, the cries, the advice and everything in between. I am so grateful to have found my best friend at such an early age. Even though we are getting older and may not be close in distance, we will always be close in heart.
Love,
Your little sister
