Dear brother,

I miss you already and you haven't even left yet! I am so happy and proud of you and I cannot wait to hear of all your adventures. I wanted to thank you for all the lessons I have learned from you. I never want to take for granted the fact of how close we were. Although I can still talk on the phone with you whenever I want and Skype you, I know it will not be the same. One thing I learned is that you should never take anything for granted because you never know when you will no longer have it everyday. You are such an amazing person and you truly inspire me everyday. Your ability to make others smile and bring people together is stunning. You are caring and can talk to anyone and make them happy.

I will miss your jokes at the dinner table and your funny impressions when we stand around in the kitchen. I know that you will be back soon and I am so grateful for that. I hope that at your going away party you realized how loved you are and how missed you will be. We are all a little selfish because we would love if you stayed, but we are so excited for you on your new life. You inspire so many to be more like you, some people can only wish to be loved as much as you. Be prepared for plenty of visits and know that we will always be ready for you to come home! Continue to be your amazing self and be prepared for a Skype date soon. I love you to the moon and back!

Love always,

Your adoring sister

P.S.

As I am writing this, Sean is making a joke about you being the token child. So know I love you all equally.
