Dear Younger Sibling,

I can’t wait to see what is about to come out of your life. I can’t wait to see how all of the things I have put you through have made a meaningful impact on your life. I can’t wait to watch you chase your dreams and achieve anything and everything you are capable of. I can’t wait to see you prove how much you are worth. I can’t wait to see all of the fantastic things that are created because of your beautiful mind. It will be wonderful, that I can promise you.

A younger brother or sister can be a pain in their younger years, but you will soon learn that you wouldn’t have it any other way. You soon realize that they can teach you things just as you can teach them. The process goes full circle even if you don’t realize it.

But first let me back track and give you the whole story. We all have a younger brother or sister that will always push themselves to be the best, but not without some playful fun. It is through this play and pranks that develops a relationship that is deeper than just family, but rather a relationship based on loyalty and togetherness. Through this togetherness, you develop a bond that becomes unbreakable. I mean let’s be real, who else are you going to joke around with when Grandpa forgets to put sugar in the pies... right? It is this bond that truly binds you as family, but truly links you as siblings, who are in this together.

I find that to be absolutely crazy because he will achieve more than I will and its not strictly on just brains. It amazes me how even though I may be the older sibling, I am constantly the rock that propels a younger sibling to work extra hard to push themselves to be better than their elders. It is through this extra work that they develop ideal characteristics that will allow them to pave their future in whichever direction they please. It is these characteristics that will allow them to be everything they had hoped for and more.

It is this work ethic that sets younger siblings up for life. The effort and work will create something within them that will spill over into aspects of their life. The extra work will create a will inside of them that will flow into their academic life, their home life, and will even allow them to impact their child’s life some day. It is this work ethic that will allow them to capture all of the dreams they have, even if they have the entire world in their hands.

So hats off to the younger siblings that will solve the worlds problems and wont even think twice because it’s all in a day’s work.

Sincerely,

Your Loving Older Silbing
