I was blessed with a little miracle nine years and one day after I was born. I constantly describe him as the best birthday present I have ever received. Yet as you grow older you start to realize what it means to be a whole 9 years older, than your brother. In the past six years here is what I have learned.
1. You become a mom
Do the dishes, did you finish your homework, no cookies till you eat your dinner. When you have a brother nine years younger than you, you immediately take over the mom role just as much as your mom does. (and you secretly love it!)
2. You go to childrens' birthday parties more than high school parties
3. You have unlimited pictures of them on your phone
"look that's you!" They're the most important memory for you to cherish.
4. You get dirty looks if you take them out alone in public
"I'M HIS SISTER"
5. You learn the true meaning of unconditional love from a kid who needs you
I love you, lil' dude!
