To the twin I never knew I needed,

From the moment I got my bid, I knew the only thing that would top that was getting my Big. Everyone dreams of what their Big will be like. Will she be the girl you fell in love with during recruitment or the one who embraced you with arms wide open on bid day?

Everyone dreams of what their Big will be like, but no one really dreams of what their Twin will be like. And that’s probably for the best, because you would have succeeded expectations.

Thank you for listening to me even though I probably drive you crazy. When I’m so scatterbrained, when I’m stressed, when I just need to vent, I know I can call you, beep you, if I want to reach you, no matter what.

Thank you for believing in me. Your encouragement and sincerity never go unnoticed. You are my number one fan, as I am yours.

Thank you for never letting me feel bad about myself. We all have days where we feel ugly, or not in the best shape, or just like one big hot mess. But you never make me feel that way and I know you never will. I can only hope to boost your confidence as much as you do mine.

Thank you for always being honest with me. People don’t always see eye to eye, and that’s a normal thing; what’s not always normal is not taking it personally, and I’m so thankful we don’t. If we have something to say, we say it. Not many people are able to do that, but we can because we love each other, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Thank you for always having fun with me. Whether it’s a last minute plan to go out or going all out for Taco Tuesday, it’s guaranteed to be a good time. And when Big’s with us too? Forget it. Nothing quite beats a night with the fam.

Thank you for treating my Little like your own. If I know one thing, you’re definitely the cool aunt. She’s so lucky to have a friend like you in her life.

Thank you for being the shoulder I’m going to cry on when Big graduates and it’s just us. It’ll be weird not having her around, and there’s no one who will quite understand like you. But we know we’ll make her proud, because we’re her Littles and we won’t settle for anything else.

Thank you for being my Twin. Not many people get the love from another family member like we do. Not many people get an unexpected friend they know they can always count on. Thank you for being everything a Twin should be, plus so much more. It’s weird to think there was a time when we weren’t in each other’s lives, but I’m so happy those days are far behind us.

Here’s to you and me, a forever friendship. I never imagined what it would be like having a Twin, and now I can’t imagine a life without you in it.
