Dear Sister,

I am so blessed to have such a beautiful person in my life. When I found out I was going to be a big sister all those years ago I was filled with emotions, I couldn't believe it was finally happening. While we sat by and waited for your arrival I dreamed of the person you would become and how we would play together and never fight because I already loved you so much. When you came and started to cry in the middle of the night I prayed for a second of silence. When we fought like crazy and I got blamed for the fights because I was older and more mature I would stomp away in anger but feel bad and always apologize. When you started school, I looked on proudly as you got on the bus for the first time. Time flew so fast watching you grow into such a beautiful young lady.

It gets harder to say goodbye to you every phone call or weekend home because you're growing up. You're having your first weeks of school and I'm not there to get you off the bus or ask you how your day was. It breaks my heart to hear you lost your softball game or you got picked on at school and I wasn't there to comfort you.

I love you more than words can say because you have been the only person there through it all. We have laughed together and we have cried together. I get excited for the awards you win and accolades you accomplish, probably more than you do. Back when I was imagining the person you could be all those years ago, I could never have even wrapped my head around the amazingly smart supergirl you have turned into today. I'll be there through thick and thin, sitting in the stands as your biggest cheerleader wherever that may be. You'll always be my little baby girl.

Love and see you soon,

Your Big Sister
