Hey Girly,

You are awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better little sister. Sometimes we don't get along, but, for the most part, we do, and I am so happy about that. You have your whole life ahead of you, and you can do anything you set your mind to. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you aren't going to make it anywhere in life. You are beautiful and smart; you have so much willpower and that will take you far. Everything you do is a part of who you are, so choose wisely.

Keep Your Faith

I have begun to see the fire of God in you. I can see it when you talk to people, and there are subtle changes that I can see. Don't let anyone or anything take that fire away from you; it will help shape you into the person you are meant to be. Talk to God about everything. He is there even when it feels like nobody else is. Let him guide your life; as long as God has a hand in it, you won't fail. You have a beautiful heart that God created. I thank God for giving me a little sister like you.

Keep Drawing

I love looking at things you have drawn. I can't even make stick figures look good and you are over there drawing things that should be in art shows. I tell my friends about how well you draw. You are so creative and I love that it shows who you are. You continue to get better and better and it's exciting to think about the things you can do with art. You told me one time that you wanted to be a tattoo artist; go for it. They would be some of the most beautiful tattoos in the world.

You Are Beautiful

My goodness, you are so freaking beautiful. Don't ever let anybody tell you different. You are beautiful without trying. Don't think that you need to have a certain kind of body or a certain kind of makeup to be beautiful. You don't need any of it, because you are so beautiful on the inside and the outside all on your own. It's a wonder we don't have guys fighting in the front yard over you. You could model if you wanted to (but I think you would rather model in boots and mud more than traditional modeling).

I'm Always Here

I will always be here for you. I will support you in everything you do and if you ever need backup, I'm here. I can't wait to see what God is going to do in your life. You are amazing and I know you will go on to great things after high school. Never let go of your family and remember that no matter what happens, we will always be sisters. And that makes me happy.

I love you,

Your big sister Kara
