Thank you for everything you do.

A Thank You Letter To My Sisters
Kristi Gurule

My beautiful, smart, funny, and sometimes different sisters,

I do not say thank you enough. I should say thank you for answering my phone calls every day, sometimes with the most pointless of conversation topics but just needing someone to talk to. Thank you for loving me when I am in a terrible mood, which is more than you bargained for most of the time. Thank you for being there for the hard stuff, it is easy to celebrate victories and be excited for each others accomplishments, but seriously thank you for your words of encouragement and for sticking around for the messy, life throwing a curve ball events.

Thank you for looking like me, and letting me borrow your clothes. Thank you for bringing me a towel or plucking my eyebrows when I need it. Thank you for telling me I probably should not have posted that on social media, thank you for being my biggest fan.

Thank you for going to target with me at random hours, thank you for always inviting me to family dinners even if I come stag and never with a boy like you hope every time. Thank you for telling me the truth about the people I invest my time in, and understanding that sometimes I have to waste my time to learn a lesson from this. Thank you for having inside jokes and stupid catch phrases. Thank you for taking selfies with me and always smiling when I beg to take a group picture, you all know how much I love pictures. Thank you for having my back when I feel like no one does, thank you for funny group texts on a long day, thank you for sharing your kids with me; being an aunt is my favorite thing to be.

Thank you for letting me crash at your house for days on end when I don't want to go home. Thank you for sticking together when our lives flipped upside down, thank you for never forgetting where you came from. Thank you for giving me someone to look up to and for making me be someone you look up to. Thank you for Christmas mornings and Easter Sundays, thank you for Catholic Girls Camps in the summer and for supporting all of my extra curricular activities.

Thank you for being my best friends, my soul mates, the only people who truly to the core know where I came from.

We fight and bicker, love and comfort, and we support and laugh. Having sister was God's greatest gift, it is a forever best friend and a long time love. I am thankful for each of you strong independent woman, and the love we have between us.

Thank you,

XOXO

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
