I am so blessed to have the siblings I do. Some people who have just met our family will say "Wow, I can't believe how well you guys get along!" When in reality, we fight and tease eachother just as much as any family does.
At the end of the day though, we all love one another more than we could express. I think we laugh more than any other group of kids I know.
So...Dylan, Natalie, & Nathan, here is my letter to each one of you. I love you all, never forget that.
Dear Dylan,
My baby brother! Truly, you are my best friend. I can't think of someone that I feel more comfortable around. The memories we have made, I will never forget for as long as I live.
Remember when we were little and I dressed you up like a girl? I put your blond hair in barrettes & laughed hysterically as I took pictures of you. From the endless hours of playing Hide-n-Seek, going down to the school to play soccer, making up our own secret handshakes, creating new, lame games to play (Three Strikes Your Out), singing songs loud & off-key, playing street hockey, and riding 4-wheelers, we've been through it all.
We stay up late & watch movies together. We rode a whole 12 hours in a car together to North Carolina and made up songs like "We're going to Raleigh...HORSES IN THE BACK." We get mistaken for a couple, which is weird because we also get mistaken for twins as well. We have endless inside jokes, and can tell eachother everything.
Deep down, Dylan...even though I despise the sport of basketball...I honestly adore watching you play.
It saddens me to think that you're already a teenager, but I also look forward to the memories & times we will be able to spend together in the future.
Love you, bro. So much. Btw- Sawyer Brown.
Dear Natalie,
My sweet, tiny sister! Oh how we are so different, but so alike at times.
You have one of the most stubborn personalities on the planet.
You are so beautiful, and when I watch you skate I see your determination and love for the ice. Even though we don't always get along, you must realize that I cherish our sister relationship so much & love you more than I could tell you. You make me smile with your witty remarks and "I don't care attitude." I am loving watching Christ mold you into the woman you one day will be.
I love you, cutie pie! Know that I am always here for you when you need me.
Dear Nathan,
My best friend! You are the coolest little 5 year old in the world.
I hope that your passion & drive for hockey is something that sticks with you for the rest of your life. I am so in love with watching you play hockey and your celebration after you score goals. I couldn't be a prouder big sister. I think you're the only person in the world who fully understandswhat it means to fall in love with the ice.
I can't wait to see what God has in store for you life. You've got so much personality & our bond is something that nothing could replace.
I love you more, Nathan James! And you do not have blue eyes, they're brown! ;)
