My big brother. Technically, not my one and only big brother, but then I have never been a fan of that specific technicality, anyway. You have always acted like the ideal big brother. You have always watched over me, protected me, and defended me against certain odd and joking comments. I thank you for acting like such a responsible big brother. I know we don't spend as much time together talking now than we used to, but in the end, we know it's all good. The amount of time we spend together cannot determine how good of a pair of siblings we may be. Just look at Bill and me. I have spent 17 years and 8 months with that beast, and he and I are not as close a pair of siblings as you and me, and we have only been siblings for about two years. Thank you for being my big brother throughout those years. I know that it's not easy being my big brother (especially since you are FOUR days YOUNGER than me!) and I thank you for putting up with that task. Also, I thank you for introducing me to your wonderful mom who has been like half a mommy to me, too. You have a loving family, and I thank you for being such a luving big brother, too. I'll miss you after graduation, and my dear big brother, this following poem is for YOU from your lit'l sis!! I luv you lots always, forever and a day.

   Always My Big Brother

Always, you have been there by my side
Like a watching angel, near me you did reside
Whenever I was in trouble, or in need of some aid
Although the sun shone, you were my shade
You were always there to protect me from the cold days
Sheltering me from the wind in such big brotherly ways

Many days and months have passed so quickly by
You always kept faith and gave me the wings to fly

But you were never bitter that I would be moving away
I knew that for such an act, so grateful I'd always stay
Godbrother to big brother in such a short while
Good thing you were there to support me with a smile
Even now, as the sands of time continue to flow
Regardless of that, I know you will luv me, wherever I go

Being my big brother can't be an easy thing to do
Rest and time and sleep, I have stolen from you
Of all the people in my life that I have ever met
There are not many who put up with me as spoiled as I get
Here on out, we may be left to walk on our own
Every stop of the way, I will remember to phone
Rough times lie ahead and well, can we pull through?
          Of course, because your lit'l sis will always luv you.
