Growing up I always wanted a sister. A best friend for life and someone I could share my deepest thoughts with. I asked God many times to bless me with a sister, but the message must have been lost somewhere along the way since I only got a brother.
The years went by and this wish completely vanished from my mind. But one happy day my brother found for himself a wonderful wife, a beautiful person, who, with time, would be a sister to me.
To my sister-in-law, my dear sister, the sister I always wished for, I wish the most amazing of birthdays!
There might have been a time when we were younger that I would’ve traded you for something as small as a chocolate bar, but now I wouldn’t trade you for the world!
I’ve come to love and embrace the fact that you’re my annoying little sis and you always will be! I wouldn’t have you any other way!
I grew up with the best cheerleader and the greatest fan anyone could ever have. Always following me around everywhere I’d go, always mimicking my every move, always repeating my own words.
But you know, little sis, you have a fan of your own in me. I have always admired your tenacity and free spirit.
I hope you have a fantastic day and a fantastic year to come!
Today we celebrate the birth of my little angel! Despite today being your birthday, it also marks the day I received the greatest gift in life.
I had been expecting this gift for so long that I couldn’t hold my excitement any longer. It came wrapped in a little pink blanket and I wasn’t allowed to pick it up or speak too loud. The excitement just grew.
But when its eyes opened, I knew I would love it for life. It had five fingers, five toes and a bit of a tummy. It was my favourite doll, it was you.
Over the years you have driven me up the wall and tried my patience time and time again, but really I have you to thank for that as it’s partly down to you that I’m such a calm, patient, and zen person nowadays!
You were such a bratty little sister, always trying to take my things and tag along everywhere I went. Things had to be done your way or you would throw a tantrum.
Despite this, I want you to know that I love you to bits.
Whenever I feel weak or down, I go to you to regain strength. You are my support and source of inspiration. It should be the other way around, but you are wise beyond your years. I’ve always looked up to you.
We used to fight, squabble, and argue, we would laugh together and make fun of each other. Actually, come to think about it, not a lot has changed really, little sis!
