when mom and dad don't understand, a sister always will

i remember being in the sixth grade, and sneaking clothes in and out of my sisters bedroom when she was at drill practice in the early hours before school. i always wanted to sport her long sleeve light blue shirt from forever 21 that had, U♥ME arranged on it like an I♥NY shirt. and i'll admit i got away with it a few times. but the times she would catch me i remember getting into screaming battles about clothes, then turned into the bickering sister "i hate you!" matches. i always vowed to never do anything nice for my sisters ever again, because they were never nice to me when i needed them. but that was sixth grade. before break ups, and cheaters, periods, weddings, babies, and death. but now, seven years later... i couldnt imagine my life without them. i got this letter from my sister today and can i just say i'm beyond thankful to have stephanie so close. when my roommates dont cut it for comfort, especially when i'm sick, stephs there, ready to save the day. when i need a family fix, a girls day, or a prison break marathon, stephs the one. armed with stromboli and home made hot coco. i wish kellie and april were closer, but most of all i wish taylor was here. i was suppose to her tomorrow, but the plans fell through, and i won't be seeing that little bundle of joy until february. i miss you tay, love you most. and stephanie, thanks for all you do. especially for this little guy...
