Dear little angel,

Though we are not related by blood, I still love you more than these words can ever say. Your mom and I have talked about what you will be like for years. It's crazy that you're actually here now.

Though you're so tiny and helpless now, I know you will grow into a beautiful and strong woman. You'll be confident and strive for only the best.

Though your hands are so small, you have so many people wrapped around your little fingers. This is going to give you the best support system as you grow up. We won't all be related by blood, but we will all be related to you through love.

Though your mama is young, she will be, and already is, a great mom. As you grow, be patient with her. Be patient with your daddy, too. You are their first child, you are the one they will make the most mistakes with. Just know that they're trying and they love you through it all. Trust me, I was the oldest once, I get how unfair it may seem. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Though you do not know it yet, you are so smart. There are things you will say that your parents never knew. This is okay. Parents aren't supposed to know everything, just remember that they will always know more than you, no matter how much schooling you have under your belt. Moms and dads know best.

I love you, little angel, and I know you will get nothing but the best from all of those around you. Though you have a grand future in front of you, you just need to focusing on growing and enjoying the love and support around you.

Love,

"Auntie"

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
