As you grow up, you always have your hero that you look up to. Your hero could be a law enforcement officer, a teacher, your parent, or aunts and uncles. It could be anyone! For me, my hero is my sister.

I didn't realize this until here recently, but I'm glad that I did. My sister, my baby sister, has taught me so much. She's taught me what it's like to love someone more than anyone else in this world. Because of her, I'll always have a best friend. I'll always have someone that I can depend on and that'll always have my back.

She's taught me what strength is. When being strong was the last option she and our family had, she was definitely the strongest. She dealt with so much more than anyone else, and I've never seen her be stronger that she was in those moments.

She's taught me what true bravery is. She did and continues to do so many brave things that I could never imagine doing. She's done the impossible and overcome the worst of situations.

My sister is so much to me. She's done so much for me and she continues to do so. My sister, Bailey, is my heart and soul. She is my best friend. She is my rock. She is everything plus more of what a sister should be. No doubt, she's the best sister out there. God knew what he was doing when he gave her to me four and a half years later. He blessed me with so much more than just the average sister. He gave me my hero. He gave me someone that will never let me down. He gave me a blessing that I'm so proud of.

I could never and would never give my sister up. So here's to you Bailey. You are my entire world! Much love sister! I'll never give up on you
