My Baby Sister, My Hero

15 years ago a tiny perfect baby girl joined our crazy family. 15 years ago I never expected that new baby sister would turn out to be my best friend, much less my hero.
We've made so many awesome memories. Dreamed so many crazy impossible childish dreams that at the time seemed so real and so possibly within reach. I think as children our capacity to believe is so much bigger than it is as adults.
Blissfully innocent days braiding dandelion chains and roaming 160 wooded acres. Tree forts, horse back riding, playing house, experiencing farm life.
Somedays I just wanted rid of her, she drove me nuts. Mom would always tell me that someday Sarah would be my best friend. I didn't believe her then but now I know moms know nearly everything.
If I need an ear to listen Sarah's there. Putting up with me. My messes my crazy moods and emotions. She's a shoulder to cry on when I need it but she's got the tough love down and she's not afraid to use it. The things she tells me make me wanna slap her and hug her at the same time because its exactly what I didn't want to hear but exactly what I needed to be told. She has so much talent and motivation and wisdom. Passion and compassion. She's not afraid to dream big. She's a strong woman, not afraid of tears.
She has an eye for fashion and always is stylish and fresh looking. But she knows how to be a bum and despite constant new sugar fasts and healthy diets and all her dressing up she knows how to be a bum and dress comfy curl up with munchies and a good book or just chill and talk. She is absolutely brilliant, dramatic, elegant hilarious, and painfully honest. She's everything I wish I would have been at her age... And even now.
Sarah, i know i say this all the time but you are beautiful and talented and to be perfectly honest you are my hero. Never change who you are because who you are touches lives, ones that you never realize even. You have the biggest heart and I know you're going to change the world even if its just a tiny corner, through wherever you end up. Ill love you forever and even though sometimes I already feel like your younger sister, you'll always be my baby sister!!!<3
