My Dear sweet Sil (as I called her since age of 6), I miss you sooooo much Sisterfriend. I hear your corny but funny jokes in my head, and start laughing. I just overall miss my 1st best friend in the whole wide world. I know your up there turning it up. Remember ALL the parents are there watching you (haha). And your still 13 days older than me. Sil, the world is just not the same without you in it. Love you Sis.
