To my Best Friend by Blood,

It’s not very often I get the chance to tell you how much you mean to me. You would’ve thought being 300 miles away would only put a strain on our relationship but it’s done nothing but bring us closer. When we were growing up, we did the typical sister thing. We fought over everything and stole each other’s clothes to the point of fist fights on Christmas eve. But there would never be a fight big or bad enough to make me stop loving you. Having a sister is God’s best gift. You are guaranteed a best friend for life no matter what.

I will admit this, and please don’t let your head get too big, but for years I have been jealous of you. You are the funniest person I have ever met. No matter where you go, you make the entire room laugh. You are so artistic and cool. I wish I got mom’s artistic genes because I am severely incapable compared to you guys. And, to top all of this off you are so gorgeous. Your smile and eyes light up every single room you are in. Not to mention you can do hair and makeup like a professional.

I truly think you’re one of your most amazing qualities is your strength. Anyone who knows us could tell you that crying is my strong suit. I wish I was able to be as strong and courageous as you. You take every situation head on and face it fearlessly. I admire you so much for this.

Most of all, all of these amazing things about you allow you to be my best friend, my blood buddy, and my sister. There is no one on this earth that I laugh as hard with or trust more. I know that no matter what I will always have you to lean on. Especially being so far away from you, I’ve learned that you’re the best resource anyone could ask for. Whether it be stupid boys, my weekend plans, a bad day or the best day ever, I know that I will always have you to talk about everything with. I hope that you never ever feel alone in this world because you will always have me. I hope that you never hesitate to reach out just because you want to talk. I hope that this world will always treats you amazing because you deserve everything this world has to offer and then some. A friend of mine recently wrote “Be surrounded by the light of love that people wield for you and let it rattle about. Let it soak you to the core. And when you’re feeling like you love enough, I hope you love, I hope you love, love more.” I will always be a light for you and I will always love you, never ever forget this.

Love, Your Older Cooler Sister
