An Open Letter To My Boyfriend's Little Sister

Thanks for being the little sister I never had.

An Open Letter To My Boyfriend's Little Sister
Bobby Burton

I have the world's best older sister - hands down. She's one of my biggest role models and even to this day I hope I can be just like her. That's why I have always wanted a little sister. I wanted to love someone unconditionally, teach her everything I know and be there for her whenever she needed it, just like my sister was for me. Luckily I fell in love with my best friend and, by doing that, I finally got the little sister I have always wanted.

The first time I came to your house, I was honestly petrified. I was terrified that your parents wouldn't like me or you wouldn't accept me. But thanks to you, I have never felt more comfortable in such an awkward situation. You filled that evening with countless laughs and have continued to fill my life with as much joy as you did that very first night.

So I just want to thank you. Thank you for allowing me to love your older brother. I know it's hard watching someone else love your first best friend and your partner in crime but I promise you will always be his number one girl. I am so thankful you've allowed me to be a part of his life and yours too, because honestly I would be lost without you and your family.

Thank you for sharing your clothes and discussing "The Bachelor" with me. Thank you for making meeting your extended family less stressful. Thank you for cuddling in bed with me when your brother fell asleep, or reminding me just how much he loves me. Thank you for always being just one phone call or text away when I needed someone to talk to. Honestly, I can't thank you enough for all that you have done for me.

Over the last two years, I have watched you grow into a beautiful (both inside and out), talented and intelligent young woman, and I am honored to be a part of your life. You continue to amaze me with your grace, charisma and drive each and every day. As you continue to grow, I pray that you find someone that makes you just as happy as your brother does for me.

I hope you don't mind me calling you "my little sister," because that's exactly what you are to me. I hope to be a role model in your life, if you would have me. I want you to know that I will continue to love you unconditionally, try to teach you as much as I can and guide you in whatever direction you want to go in life. I promise I will never let anyone hurt you (and if they do, I will probably have to beat them up). I refuse to watch you settle for anything less than the best, because you deserve nothing less. I will always be here for you no matter what.

I am so thankful for the countless memories and inside jokes we share. I am grateful for all the love and support you have shown me over the years and will continue to return it all back to you. I am so proud of who you have become and am honored to have a "little sister" like you.

So thank you for being the best little sister I never had.

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.
