For My Brother; I love you like no one else ever will. I love that you make me laugh, even when I have little to laugh about.

I love that you treat the world how you want to be treated, while not allowing it to treat you unkindly. I love that you knew me when, and still love me in spite of most of it. I love that we love each other for who we are, in spite of the choices and mistakes we have made, are about to make, and will likely make again. I love how you make a long day brighter, a lonely time friendlier, and a Lazy day longer. I love that I am your only Sister, always will be, and that you are my only brother, and will always be. I love that you are another year older, because its' another year I have loved you, laughed with you and had the opportunity to enjoy being your Sis.... and that you are older than me
