Letter #4- Sibling or Closest Relative

Dear Katie,

You aren't my sibling, but I feel as though you should have been. You are my cousin, my smart, beautiful, sarcastic, way-too-mature-for-age-6 cousin.

I know you aren't supposed to pick favorites in your family, but you're it. You are the main reason I came to Ohio after graduation, and the reason I was most excited to go to Vegas. I couldn't wait to see you. I got to see your amazingly wonderful sisters grow up, and I feel awful that I haven't got to spend as much time with you.

Perhaps you're my favorite because I see so much of myself in you. You're such a daddy's girl, as I was, and I've never seen someone so young be so sarcastic. Seriously, I've seen you outwit your dad, which is hard to do.

I pray for the day you all will be closer to us. I hate not being a more prominent figure in your life, in all of your lives. I hope you know that you can always talk to me, and that no matter where you live, I will always be there for you.

Love, ALWAYS,
Courtney
