overjoyed

October 4, 2009

My only sibling turned 20 last week. I never thought his advance in age would ever make me feel older – after all, we’ve been 6 years and 17 days apart ever since the day he was born but for some reason, this birthday hit me with a bit of nostalgia.

We didn’t always get along. I mean, we fought. A lot. So much so that my mom used to make us stop and hug each other but the minute she was out of earshot or eyeshot, we would continue fighting. It hasn’t been until the last few years that we really became more than just brother and sister. We became close friends by choice.

When my birthday rolled around this year, he sent me a little gift and inside was the best part of the present; the card:

Oh yes, he is the best brother there ever was.

i’m yours,
melissa
