Dear Butthead,

I'm not going to start off this letter by being all mushy and gushy about you because that would be gross and you and I are not on the same level clearly with the different in height and age and the fact that you are my older brother. But, with this letter, I'm either going to make you uncomfortable, or you won't read this unless I tag you in a million times. You know full well that I would have no problem with doing that.

I want to start off by saying thank you for being the best brother ever when I was born. I was told by mom that you "adored" me, and always wanted to be around me and help mom with feeding me and playing with me. You and I both know that all changed when I started talking around the age of five and standing up for myself. I'd like to think that's when everything went south and it's been like that ever since, however I know that you and I will always be there for each other no matter what.

I will never forget the time that I was able to run down into your room with my headphones in while mom and dad would have their monthly arguments. Unfortunately that's how often they were. Sorry mom, sorry dad. You were my shield when times were hard and I was able to talk to you about anything without you judging or having a different opinion.

When I was thirteen years old my world turned upside down when I heard you repeat the oath that got you sworn into the U.S Air Force. I didn't full realize that I was slowly losing my first best friend until you got on the plane in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was then that I only had my friends. I felt as if i was an only child.

Now that it's been over ten years since you left, It just feels like I'm the last kid to leave the house, which is the truth, I no longer feel like an only child. I know we are both busy with our lives we are trying to begin. You're just five years ahead of me. You may have gotten a car, license, and your own place before me, I still graduated college with my bachelors before you did. You had a good excuse, but I still won in that aspect.

I want to thank you for pushing me to be a better person. I know you don't want me to follow the status quo of East Liverpool and trust me, I don't plan on it at all. I will push past the barriers and make a name for myself no matter what. I have you to thank for that. Thank for all the chances you gave us to go on vacation together to see you. More importantly thank you for being the best big brother on the face of this earth. There isn't anyone else I would want to have in my life other than you even though you drive me nuts all the time. I love you bro!

Love,

Your Favorite Sister
