Getting to see my sister this past week definitely lifted my spirits and I’m still shocked from the surprise visit!

Since this little one was born, I have loved having the privilege of being a big sister. Although many times may have not been easy, my role as big sister has been simple: love and protect.

Through the years, we have both been through changes that have altered our lives for the better. No matter where I am and no matter the distance, the bond between us only grows stronger as we grow individually. Even though I know that she is more than capable of living on her own, I will never stop loving and protecting my little sister. I am so proud of what she has become and has made for herself.

There has been nothing more fulfilling than embracing the role of big sister. If you have been honored with the gift of being an older sibling, never take that role for granted. The minute they come into your life you have been dealt the card of playing a role model and somebody’s hero.

The minute they come into your life, you instantly become somebody’s role model… A role you may never ask for, but one that is a privileged honor…

For you my friend, have become somebody’s hero ☺
