• Dear Brother


    You came to my life when I least expected a sibling. I was already looking forward to a life out of my childhood home when you came along. Since I am pretty old, I don't feel like an older sister. I feel like a mother and I literarily don't want children of my own, I must admit.

    The reason why I want you to read this letter some day, is because I want you to understand why, above everything in this world, I want to protect you.

    In our family, thing's aren't going to well. Mother is wrong because she's too stubborn. Things have to be done how she wants it, when she wants it, and where she wants it. And if you don't go by HER rules, she'll start saying how selfish you are and she'll begin to rub things on your face. She'll go like: "After I did this and this and this to you, this is how you repay me?" But she usually does nothing.

    Your father, my stepfather, because he doesn't know how to talk... he yells. He never looses a fight. He's always right. It doesn't matter what he does, it's always him.

    I've shed too many tears in my life and I don't want you to suffer the same way I did.

    If you find your day is gray, calm down. I'll be there for you. And some how I'll make you smile.

    If all you want to do is run away, don't panic. I'll find a way and reason for you to live.

    I have no more ways to explain to you the reason why I don't want you to spend a life of solitude. It's my top priority and my biggest fear.

    I just want you to know that, wherever you go, that if your wings ever get tired, I'll be there to lift you and carry you on until you regain your strength.

    Of so many thing's I've lost in this short life, your arrival was enough to supply those empty holes in my heart. That faithful day of april, when you came along...

    Cold stares and tears of despair slowly engrave themselves on my skin and you are the only reason I look forward into the future.

    You along with someone else I'm too modest to name, have brought light into my dim life. Thank you.
