A letter for someone I love – Always have, always will…

My Dearest Little Love,

It’s taken me far too long to sit down and write to you, but today, I couldn’t put it off any longer. There are so many things I want to say, so many memories I want to share, and most importantly, so much gratitude I want to express.

Looking back, I realize I wasn’t always the best sister to have when we were kids. I had my flaws, my moments of impatience and frustration. But through it all, you remained a constant source of kindness and understanding. Your gentle spirit and thoughtful gestures have shaped me into the person I am today, and for that, I am forever grateful.

I’ll never forget that birthday when I turned fifteen. After all my friends had left and the excitement of the day began to fade, you came to me with a simple yet heartfelt gift—your favorite colored pencils, crayons, and sparkle pens bundled together. In that moment, surrounded by lavish presents from others, yours was the one that touched my heart the most. It was a gesture of pure love and generosity, and it left an indelible mark on my soul.

Then there was that day when I said something hurtful to you, something I wish I could take back. You didn’t retaliate or respond with bitterness. Instead, you quietly retreated to the washroom and cried alone. It was a pivotal moment for me, a lesson in empathy and remorse that I will never forget. I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again—I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you, and I promise to always strive to be a better sister to you.

Our childhood was filled with its fair share of squabbles and disagreements, but through it all, there was an unbreakable bond between us. I cherished the moments we spent together, whether it was fighting over the TV remote or holding hands on our way to school. Those memories are etched in my heart forever, and I long for the simplicity and innocence of those days.

You’ve been my rock, my confidante, my guiding light. Your unwavering support and sage advice have carried me through some of the toughest moments of my life. I don’t know where I would be without you.

As we’ve grown older, our relationship has evolved, but one thing remains unchanged—my love and admiration for you. You may be all grown up now, but in my eyes, you’ll always be my little sister, my precious gem.

I know I can be overbearing at times, lecturing you about life and offering unsolicited advice. But please know that it comes from a place of love and concern. I want nothing but the best for you, and I’ll always be here to offer guidance and support whenever you need it.

So here’s to us, my dear sister. To the countless memories we’ve shared, the laughter and tears, the joys and sorrows. I am blessed to have you in my life, and I thank my lucky stars for you every single day.

P.S. I know some of you may wonder why I’m sharing this letter with the world instead of keeping it between us. The truth is, I sent it to my sister first, and with her approval, I wanted to share it with all of you. Our bond is too special not to celebrate, and if this letter brings a smile to your face or resonates with you in any way, then it’s served its purpose..
