I wanted to take the time to tell you that I appreciate you more than you know.

Right now, you're sitting beside me eating a plate full of food. I'm writing this article about you, and you have no idea at all. You should start eating a little slower, by the way. You're already almost done with your plate.

Thank you for accepting me.

Our whole life, you have had to deal with weirdness, girly things, a broken heart, sleepovers with my friends; I could keep going. You have accepted my weird ways and have even let me rub off on you.

Thank you for the laughs.

I have to say, I believe my best and hardest laughs have been with you. We have laughed until we cried multiple times. We always make up the craziest jokes, dance moves, and sayings.

Thank you for being my "big brother".

Even though you're younger than me, you have always somehow protected me and you've always had my back. We've been through everything together. Thanks for looking out!

Now, you're finished with your plate and are sitting here taking selfies on snapchat. I wonder who they're going to. (insert curious emoji here). Stay away from those girls. I have to approve first.

I love you, "Ricky Bobby."
