You like to tell me that you asked Mom for a dog, but you got me instead. You are a pain in the neck literally all the time, you tease me constantly about stuff I said or did when I was a child, and you're super annoying, but you're my sister and I love you so much.

You are one of the most supportive people in my life. You were the first person I called when I got my acceptance to Thiel and you were so happy for me. You weren't mad that I wanted to leave. You denied it and wouldn't talk to me about it, but that's just you worrying about me. I'm doing okay, so just keep that in the back of your mind.

You cry constantly when I do something. You cry at literally everything. I joined the bowling team, you cried. High school plays and choir concerts resulted in tears. I won't even mention the amount of tears as my high school graduation was growing closer. I know I laugh at you when you cry when I do things that everyone else does, but I know why you do. You're proud of me. I'm glad I can make you proud. That's all I want to do.

You're a pretty cool person. I've been on this planet for 18 years now and I'm so happy I've gotten to spend it with you. A few years ago, I found a home video of us. Mom had set up her camera in our play room and put on music. I don't remember what song, but it was Britney Spears. We sat in the play room and sang to the song until it was done. I don't remember this happening because I was so young, but it did. Watching is was hilarious. I wish I could remember when I was that young.

With the good memories, there are bad ones as well. I remember this one time, you and Mom got into a horrible fight and you left for a couple weeks. I hated that. I woke up every day feeling sad because I knew you weren't going to be there. I also remember every time we fought. We used to fight a lot, most of our fights were so stupid too. Those fights were a waste of time and air. We don't fight as much now. I can't even remember the last fight we got into, so I guess we're doing pretty well. I like not fighting with you.

You recently told me you're pregnant, and that was a complete shock. I don't know how excited you are, but I'm over the moon excited. Based on how you've treated me, fighting aside, I know you're going to be an amazing mom. I'm so excited to see how you grow as a person and as a mom. I'm also excited because there's going to be a baby around when I come home for breaks and I'll get to spoil it. Plus, you'll have a babysitter while I'm home.

You are my best friend, and no matter how many horrible fights we get in, I love you. I love the unconditional support you've given me. Having you as an older sister has influenced my life so much. I am the person I am today because I grew up with your love and support. Thank you for always being my friend when no one else wanted to. Take care of yourself and my niece or nephew. I love you.
