Dylan,

During our very last boat trip of the year I looked at you in your pure blissful state and started to think about how much I love you. I was lost in thought thinking of what I would say to someone to describe what my brother means to me. I will forever be one half of a whole without you.

"Two Tickets to Paradise"

I love you so much

-Your little sister
