Dear Big Bro,
Since I've practically known you my whole life, I figured it was about time I let you know just how much you mean to me. You know, you are one of the handful of people in my life who have been there for me from the very beginning. From the moment I was born, you became my very best and dearest friend. Of course, every so often that would change depending on what stupid fight we were having at the time, but usually about an hour later, we would forget all about it and go right back to being day one homies.
I've realized over the years that you are the one person who probably knows me better than I know myself. You can always tell when I'm upset or stressed, even when I'm trying to hide it, and you have been by my side through the good times and the bad. You were always the one I could turn to when I couldn't even talk to mom and dad about my annoying teenage girl drama. And you always give the best advice, granted it's usually along the lines of: "Guys are stupid" and "You probably shouldn't date until you're 30," but, hey, it's the thought behind it that counts.
Despite your over-the-top protectiveness, I will always appreciate how much you look out for me. Like when I was in third grade and you almost beat up that boy for throwing a rock at me, or in middle school when someone stole my bike and you somehow got it back. Even though you sometimes border on paranoia, thanks for always having my back, big bro.
Honestly the memories that we have made together are ones that I will treasure forever. From building world-class forts out of the living room couches, to waking up early for Saturday morning cartoons, to constantly playing pranks on each other. Let's not forget our epic water gun fights, our scary movie marathons and our very classified secret spy missions. Or those late nights when we would channel our inner "Home Alone" and find random objects to use as a sled on the stairs (much to mom's dismay). And of course, the hours we would spend playing Mario Kart on our good old Nintendo 64.
The memories that we have made over the years are endless and I can't wait to make many more. Even though we have had our occasional ups and downs, I'm so thankful to have a protective, hilarious, weirdo big brother like you in my life. Love you, bro.
Always,
Your baby sis
P.S. Thanks for always being down to watch "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" with me even though you pretend to hate it, when we both know that, deep down, you love Kourtney's sarcasm as much as I do.
