My Big Sister

This is an open letter to my amazing big sister who has known me since day one!

When we were younger, we fought together, laughed together, cried together, and played anything and everything together.  There were times when our parents couldn't keep us a part, and there were plenty of times when our parents couldn't get us to be near each other.  But no matter what, we have remained best friends for over 20 years.

The dynamics of our relationship have changed over the years, and they will continue to do so as we grow older.  Through all of these changes, you have taught me so many things!

*You have helped me to understand what it means to trust in the Lord, especially through the hard times.

*You taught me how to be a student.

*We share secrets that I don't even tell my best friends about.

*We know exactly what "the look" means. (And there are multiple "looks")

*We have codes for our inside jokes.

*You inspire me to be the best person that I can be.

*You taught me how to play sports-even though I was never very good.

*You helped me to understand football...but let's face it-there are still things about that game that I don't understand.

*You showed me how to find my passion for helping others.

*You showed me how to be a leader.

*You showed me how to be a great friend.

*You taught me how to cook and bake..even when I didn't help you clean up!

*You taught me to make the best of every moment.

* You dealt with all of mom and dad's hard rules, so I didn't have to.

*You have shown me how to conquer the biggest life obstacles.

*You have accepted me for the crazy person that I am.

*You have put my head on straight.

You are a constant reminder that I always have a supporter.

I could go on and on about my sister..but I just want to say THANK YOU for everything. The countless memories, both good and bad. I love you to the moon and back.
