4 Reasons Having Siblings Is A Lifelong Blessing

You guys are amazing

If you are lucky enough to have siblings like mine, you'll understand why they are the biggest blessing in my life. Even with all the fighting, we did as kids, there will never be anyone in my life as special to me as my siblings. Here's to more years of laughs and love with you guys.

You have friends for life.

From day one, whether you are the older or younger sibling, you have a friend. Someone to watch you grow and help you learn. From learning how to ride a bike to graduating high school and applying to colleges, your siblings will be right by your side cheering you on in every move. My siblings make me laugh harder than anyone ever can and have been my best friends since the day I was born.

They'll be completely honest with you.

It's nice having someone be completely honest with you. If you're looking for brutal honesty, turn to your siblings. They'll tell you when they don't like the guy you brought home or that they think you're making some stupid decisions. They aren't telling you these things to hurt your feelings, although sometimes it might hurt to hear. They're telling you the truth because they're looking out for you. They have your best interest at heart, it's just hard to see that sometimes.

You never get lonely.

Growing up in my house, there was never a time that I was home alone. My siblings were always there with me. While sometimes it was frustrating because I just wanted some time to myself, overall it was really nice having them there with me. I always had someone to play with or talk to. I never felt alone. I had my three best friends living with me and that was the greatest thing I could ask for. With siblings, even when they weren't physically there, I knew they were just a phone call away and that is very comforting to me.

The love between siblings is like none other.

I am one of four siblings and growing up that seemed like a lot. It was always chaotic and noisy, someone was always crying. Between the fights and the crying, my siblings taught me to love like no other. The memories we shared as children and that we continue to make as we grow is something so special. I will never love someone as much as I love my sisters or my brother. I'm am so thankful to have them in my life and for all the amazing things they have taught me. No matter what, I will love them forever.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
