My sister is my mini-me, partner-in-crime, and best friend. Don’t get me wrong, we still have our arguments over stolen clothing, but there’s no one I’d rather annoy 24/7 than her. However, I never quite show you how much you’re appreciated by me. So, here are a few things that we should all thank our siblings for.

Some are relatable, yet some are unique, but overall these are some powerful thank yous that go a long way to the person who has always been there for me and will continue to be a shining light in my life. Let's begin.
