Now that I am in college, I have realized how much I took being around you both every day for granted. As much as I always say that being the oldest is the best, being the oldest also comes with a lot of responsibilities, that were very difficult to take on growing up. They are even more difficult now that I only get to see you guys every couple months.

Being the oldest I have always felt the need to set a good example for you both. I always try to make the best decisions, get good grades, and be a good sibling; but nobody is perfect. I have made mistakes and I hope that you learn from my mistakes and decide to make better decisions.

I always say that I wish I was an only child, but in reality, I wouldn't want my life any different than it is now. Being able to grow up with my best friends was such a blessing. It is something I wouldn't change for the world.

Thank you to my not so little brother for being my best friend. I can tell you anything, make fun of you, and fight with you, and we always make up. Being so close in age has allowed us to be so close, maybe closer than most siblings are. I know you didn't always enjoy being put into dresses and being forced to play with me, but we always had a great time. We have such a good time together, from watching our favorite movies to laughing so hard that our stomachs hurt. I honestly don't know what I would do without you, I love you so much and I am so proud of the young man you are becoming.

My little sister, I remember being so happy when I found out I was going to have a little sister. As much as I loved having a brother, a sister is something I wanted so badly. I was lucky enough to be blessed with both. As your older sister, I know you look up to me, so I especially have to set a good example for you. You are growing up so fast and turning into such a beautiful young lady, I love you.

Please know that I am only a FaceTime call away, I love when my phone rings and it's either a text, call, or snapchat from you guys. As much as I was so happy to go away to school, I miss being at home with my family.

Although I may fight all the time, I know that we will always have each others back. You both have made me such a proud sister. I know you both are going to do great things in life and I can't wait to see where life takes you (hopefully not too far away from me).
