It seems like just yesterday I was tagging along to your first soccer games or you were accompanying Dad to my basketball games and track meets.

Well, I wish those days weren't behind us. But they are and I could not be more proud to be your sister. I have seen you start driving, try a new sport, find a love for an old one and play your first Varsity season as a freshman.

You have grown up so much in the past few years and I am sad that I have missed so much of it. I'm not sure if you realize how proud I am. You went into high school with everybody knowing that you were my little sister, but you did not let that stop you from forging your own path.

You're the only one home now, and I'm sure it is weird. No matter what, just know that you have two older sisters who will always have your back; no matter how far away we are or how busy we seem to be.

No matter how much you annoy me with your stupid puns or your constant begging to borrow my clothes or how much I say I wanted a brother instead, I'm glad I got you.

I know that you are already thinking about college, but you've got some time. Don't force yourself to grow up so fast. Take some time and just enjoy being where you are now. You will have plenty of time to stress about college and moving and just growing up. Enjoy being home and enjoy high school and everything that comes with it.

No matter where you go, or how much you tower over me, I will always be there for you, Bug.
