I'll love you forever... I'll like you for always

My sister is leaving for far away. China is about as far away as I can imagine.

2 years ago when I agreed to move in with my sister, I didn’t expect what we have now. I knew we had a relationship that works and we were close as far as sisters went.

She is my best friend now. She knows me more than I know myself. More than even my mom knows me.

She knows my likes and dislikes, what I can and can’t eat. How to help when I have a migraine (which is one thing that I don’t even know).

I would never trade her for anything in the world.

Not to say we have a perfect relationship, most people think we’re crazy and most likely dysfunctional. But it works for us. We’ve figured out how to work through all the issues.

She has even learned about Star Wars, Doctor Who, and vlogbrothers to keep up with my conversations and stupid jokes. She laughs when I say something that I never even thought of as funny, but the things I think is funny she’ll just roll her eyes at.

She’s there for me when I need cheering up, and knows the perfect thing to say to make me burst out in laughter after a long day.

Somehow, she even knows how to get me out of a funk after a test, or have a horrible experience with someone else.

She protects me from over exuberant people that don’t understand how introversion works. She protects me from the gluten in my life, and friends that hurt me. She keeps me sane when I have a migraine and just want to die.

Somehow, I’m sure I’ll even miss getting mistaken for her life partner or asked how long we have been a couple.

I’m sure I’ll survive without her, but the point is that I don’t want to. She balances me in all sense of the word. I love her. I know life must go on and that no matter how much I wish, life changes. I would never want to hold her down or keep her in the same place for too long, it would be like nailing jello to a tree, or surviving a back yard flood in a cardboard box. I hope she goes and finds what she’s looking for, an experience of a lifetime. I pray for her daily and hope you will too.

If someone could show me this post after I do the dishes, that would be great… She is my sister she is my heart.
