Dear Bro.

"You are the Happiness in my life... I just wanted to let you know that."

Letters...

 

Hey, Bro!

How's my little man?

Well, I guess I can't call you "little" anymore, can I?

I can't even carry you without feeling like the Hunchback of Notre Damn (Do you know who that is yet?)!

Anyway, on to why I wrote this letter!

Over the years, I have not been the best sister to you.

Countless times, I could've played with you.

I could've spent more time with you.

For that, I am truly sorry.

I want to be the big sister that you can look up to.

I mean, I'm supposed to be the role model.

If something were to happen to Mom and Dad, I have to be the person you will depend on the most.

I know we have other relatives, but we're Brother and Sister.

There is no stronger bond than that.

I know I do not show it as much as I should, but I do love you.

So much.

Honestly, I don't know where I would be if you weren't in my life.

For so long, I've wanted a younger sibling who I could hold, kiss, and say how much I loved him or her.

In one more month, it'll make the 9th year in a row of absolute bliss and happiness.

You know why, right?

Yep, because you were born!

We have a pretty big age gap, but that never stopped us from getting so close.

I still remember when you were still an infant.

So light and fragile...

I was still just a baby myself.

I remember the first time I held you.

You squirmed around a little, then relaxed in my arms.

I think you smiled a little, too!

Honestly, I was terrified.

What if I dropped you?

What if I had to sneeze?

So many thoughts ran through my head.

When you relaxed, I did too.

You mean more to me than you probably realize.

From now on, I will do my best to be the sister you can always come to for anything.

This, I promise to you.

I love you, Little Bro.

 

Love, Your Big Sis,

Bri.

Author's Note

Bro.
So much I want to say to you, but I'm sure the letter summed up the vast majority of it.
I will say one more thing.
You are the Happiness in my life.
Whenever I'm done, its your face that I see.
Your smile makes me smile.
Your laugh makes me laugh.
Your cries makes me cry.
Your love makes me love.
Sorry for getting sappy, but I do love you.
Now and forever.
