A Letter To My Younger Brothers

When Did My "Little" Brothers Get So Cool?

A Letter To My Younger Brothers
Aspen Davis

We haven’t lived under the same roof for almost four years now, and you’ve changed tremendously. When I left you were the best definitions of “little brothers” that I could think of. You were always in my business, going into my room uninvited, and you didn’t quite understand the whole “leave me alone” concept. I had no issue at all leaving the two of you at home for nine months out of the year after I graduated high school. It was kind of awesome actually. I no longer needed a passcode on my phone, I didn’t have to worry about sharing the food mom had bought for me, and I never had to worry about you getting into my things anymore. I was perfectly content with the living situation until recently. You’ve both grown up so much, and I feel so many different ways about that fact. I feel like I’ve missed a lot of the little changes because I'm away so much.

I’m so grateful I get to be your sister. I don’t say it enough, but I hope you know how proud I am to call you my brothers. You’re kind of cool now. I will most likely regret saying that later, but it’s true. I catch myself coming home and trying to hang out with you. I miss my friends, but sometimes I just want to hang out with my brothers. Maybe it’s because I miss my childhood, but it’s also because I just miss you both in general when I’m at school. You’re both so funny. I like to think I taught you everything you know, but I have to give you some credit. I try not to show you how truly funny I think you are because I don’t want you beginning to think you’re cooler than me.

If you weren’t already aware, I’ve always felt like the superior, bigger, and older sister until this last year. There’s no hiding the fact that you’re both obnoxiously tall compared to me, so that takes away the bigger-than-you feeling. I also can’t boss you around like I used to because my physical threats just don’t scare you anymore, so that takes away the superior aspect of things. Honestly, that’s a bummer for me.

I can handle no longer being superior in strength and bigger in height as long as you still see me as an older sister who is someone you can look up to. I hope you’re able to see me as someone who set a good example, as someone who will continue looking out for you even when you think you’re too old for that, as someone who has and will continue to be your biggest fan. Most importantly, I hope you're able to see me as someone who will forever be only a phone call away if ever you’re in trouble.

I’m always going to be your older sister. That fact will never change. I just hope you know how honored I feel to get to be your sister. You truly have and are continuing to grow up into the kind, caring, thoughtful and hysterical young men I wish there were more of these days. You keep doing you, and I’ll keep trying to boss you around. I love you both and hope you don’t let this go to your head too much.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
