Why Big Brothers Are Secretly The Best For Little Sisters

I may not have the big sister I always wanted, but I was blessed with two big brothers instead, and I would never change that.

The Built-in Best Friend

What's better than having a built-in best friend? A little sister will always have her go-to person to make fun memories with, even when all her girl friends are busy.

Their Opinions Are The Most Honest And Valued Ones

Brothers will give their opinions even when they weren't asked, and will always find a way to but into their little sisters business. But when they say how pretty their sister looks, or how proud of them they are, they really are telling the truth.

The Personal Bodyguard

Brothers will have their sister's back through anything. And no matter how old their little sister gets, they never stop trying to protect them from the real world. But at a certain age, maybe it's time to lay off scaring all the boys away.

They Are Disgusting, But It's Surprisingly Helpful

Sharing a bathroom with at least one of my brothers for 19 years has been a challenge, but I built a tolerance to all the disgusting habits that boys have, which has taught me how to deal with nastier things in life then just cleaning up after them. Turns out brothers are useful for something.

They Treat Their Sister Like "One Of The Boys"

While little sisters may not always be welcome to tag along with the boys, big brothers will always see her as one. Although, they do usually remember she's still a girl when they're talking about their trucks (or something boring like that).

So, I may not have been given a big sister to help me with makeup or how to dress, but I had something better. I was given two big brothers who occasionally forget I'm not a kid anymore and that I'm sadly not a little brother instead. Thanks for being my best friends.

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.
