A Letter To A Faraway Sister

A heartfelt goodbye letter to a sister that moved halfway across the country.

Well. By the time you read this, you will be all unpacked and hopefully on the hunt for a job somewhere out in Denver.

I cannot believe that you actually did it. I had no doubt that you meant what you said 100%, but I just cannot believe that you are halfway across the continent. It will always be hard to fathom for me. A person that I have grown up with for 16 years of my life is officially gone. Now, I will only see you once or twice a year.

We have fought for most of our lives, but that does not change the way that we will forever feel about each other. We still love each other. This love is unconditional. This love can never be broken.

When we were younger, we would always fight over who would ride in the back seat for long car trips. You would usually win because you pulled the seniority card. Now that I look back on those moments, you pulled that car A LOT on both Zachary and I. These car rides always turned into the most memorable adventures ever. Stop and read signs along the highways. Stop and take a picture with the welcome sign of a new state. Stick our hands out and lunge forward to try and outreach the other before screaming "BEAVER" as we cross each state line. These memories will forever be some of my favorites.

The times we spent in a car, just the two of us, was always interesting as well. Sneaking out to Chipotle together and vowing to never tell Mom about it always brought the most fun. The best thing about these car rides together was when "Hey Soul Sister" by Train came on the radio. We would always blast it and sing along. That was our song and it always will be.

I remember when I was younger, I always wanted to hang out in your room. You had a room to yourself and was always playing music and playing with toys. It was like a dream come true to be able to hang out with you. I would always come in and play with your dolls just so I could hang out with you in your room. Zach and I would always be in your room because we both looked up to you.

You were alway there for us. In everything that we did, you were there to support us. Without your support, I do not know what I would have been able to accomplish. You are amazing sister, Rosalie, and I know for a fact that Zach and I will never forget that.

Stay strong. Be yourself.

Denver is ready for you, and you are ready for Denver.

You got this Sis.

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. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
