Brother

                    It isn't often that I let you know how grateful I am to have you in my life. Just because I don't always say it, doesn't mean I don't think about it, because I do all the time. When we were little, I used to tell you that I wanted "to throw you in the garbage" when you annoyed me, and now I can't imagine ever wanting you out of my life. We are more like friends than siblings, and I love that about our relationship.                         
                     Our ability to converse about any topic without judgment is incredible, and I don't know many pairs of siblings who can talk as freely as we do. I love being the one that you turn to for advice on girls or school. Being your older sister means teaching you the lessons I have learned from my own mistakes. I hope that my advice has helped you over the years. There are so many things that I would like to thank you for, but it would take forever to list them all. I want to thank you for always being my ride home. For being a much better cook than I am, and for making me dinner when I am tired of eating the same thing for the 5th day in a row. For hanging out with me when I am bored, for listening to my problems and offering advice, and for making me laugh– but most importantly, for being you.
