A letter to my Little Brother

“Little brother” may not be the best thing to call you now considering you are already taller than me, but you will always be my little brother at heart. Growing up with you by my side has been one of the most annoying, wonderful, beautiful things I have ever been blessed with experiencing. Not only did I have someone to constantly annoy, harass, fight with but I also have a best friend for life. No matter how much we argue and biker with each other you have never failed to stand by my side (even if you got into a fight with mom over it). You were always there to comfort me when I was lonely, sad or upset and did anything in your power to make me feel better. You made me smile and laugh whenever I wasn’t even in the mood to. I always had someone to take on shopping trips and sushi lunch dates. And in the midst of all our fights and arguments never once did you make me feel unloved. Even though I am the oldest, I have come to realize that through this years you were the one taking care of me, not the other way around. You may be younger than me but your heart is double your age.

Watching you grow up and become the person you are today has not only made me realize how old I have gotten but what kind of amazing person you have become. Although you are my little brother, and I will always see you that way I can already see the wonderful man you will become.

Thank you for being the annoying little brother who keeps each and everyday entertaining. And thank you for keeping me sane on the days where I really needed it the most. Thank you for being my best friend from now until forever. You are truly one of the most important people in my life.

“For my brother,

Do you know that you hold a place in my heart that could be filled by no one else? There have been good times and a few fights, maybe because in many way we are too much alike. I have never said it much as somehow the time or mood never seems right or perhaps there is something in me that keeps me from saying it to your face as much as I should, but regardless I want you to know that I love you. Our journey through life may take us far apart but it will not matter as neither distance nor time will dull that which is between us. You are my brother because of blood but you are my friend because of love.”

I love you so much Baby bro!

Here’s to the next years and years of being annoying, loving , screaming, crying and fighting siblings.

I Love you always,

Your very grateful older sister.
