Despite being older than me and being slightly jealous that you weren't the littlest baby anymore, you've taken me under your wing since mom and dad introduced me to you in the hospital. You've taught me the what not-to-do's without actually realizing it, and you've shown me eternal love I can't find anywhere else but in a big sister
Thank you for taking the heat for me even though it probably wasn't your fault. Although that didn't happen as much as us fighting about who's fault it was, those few times when you knew that it was me who broke mom's plate or did something "bad", you took the heat and let me get away with whatever I did. I don't know why; maybe it's because it might've been partially your fault, but it was probably you trying to protect me.

Thank you for being the only one in the world who understands how my parents are. You are the only other person in the world who understands how frustrating my parents are, and how they act and how they work, and being there for me when they're being unfair. You are the only one who can appreciate my feelings towards them whether it's adoring them or being hurt by them, but you are there for me every step of the way, letting me know that I'm not crazy.
Thank you for protecting me. It doesn't matter what situation it is, what time of day it is, or where in the world we are. You are there for me, you are the person that I will call in an emergency, even if the emergency is usually which pair of leggings I need from Lululemon when I'm in the dressing room, but that's still protection, since I can't be walking around in the wrong pair. Thank you for defending me when I need it, and being my number one.
Thank you for accepting me and who I am. Sometimes I can be a tough pill to swallow (even though you can't swallow pills for your life), but I always know that when I'm doubting myself and who I am as a person, I can always call or come to you in seek of confirmation that who I am and what I do is alright, and that I'm the sister that you love, no one else. Thank you for accepting the fact that I'm your dorky little sister and you're stuck with me forever.
Thank you for being my best friend. It sounds corny, but really. You've known me the longest out of all my friends, and you're the one that I'm bound to for the rest of my life. You're the one I want to tell the funny thing that happened to me that day, or the upsetting thing that I really need to talk about. You're the one that I find little things for in gift-shops that no one else would like but you. You're the one that I could talk to for hours on end and not run out of things to talk about.
I love you. Thank you for being my big sister. Xoxo.
