Sister

Dear sister,

                 You’ve supported me through every endeavor and hardship I’ve faced. You’ve stood by me through every so-called “best friend” that has walked in and out of my life, even when I may have pushed you aside. When people treated me like I was disposable, you went out of your way to assure me of my worth. When I would doubt myself for the silliest things, you’d give me the strength to keep moving forward.                                               
               You continue to be someone I can always confide in and trust, not just because you’re my sister, but because you’re my best friend. No fight can strain our bond, because, although we disagree and yell sometimes, by the end of the day we’ll be hugging and laughing together like nothing happened. As we grow older, we seem to change together, like the leaves on the tree in our front yard. Today, as we move on with our lives and discover new people and places, I know we’ll always have each other, not just because you’re my sister, but because you’re my best friend.
