it was times like these that i wish i had your ability to formulate the perfect sentences. express my words to you in strings of colors that projected against the paper in a beautiful rainbow. i know my words wonβt be perfect, but i hope it all makes sense in the end.Β
iβve never seen you smile so bright before. your eyes light up when you talk about him and your cheeks turn this bright pink like someone lit a match under your skin. you canβt hold still; your leg is bouncing or your hands are rubbing together like the energy heβs put into you is too much for your small frame to handle. the love you have radiates through every room you enter. anyone that sees you can tell that thereβs just somethingΒ different about youβhappier, prouder, more confident. i know itβs not just him to thank for this, because these are all things i knew you had inside of you, but iβm just glad that he has helped open those doors. the chirping blue birds and bright colors of yellow and orange are springing out of your chest.Β
i know i was hesitant at first and maybe that was because i didnβt understand. i didnβt comprehend the idea of someone walking into your life and turning your whole world upside-down, but i can see it know. heβs great, wonderful, even, and he loves you. iβm only saying this because iβve seen all those other bullshit guys around you that take advantage of everything you have to give. he doesnβt though. he wonβt.Β
iβm writing you these letters in hopes that these will bring you back down onto your feet whenever youβre feeling trapped at the ceiling with nowhere to go. iβve always had in my mind that i have to protect you, that i have to be the one that fixes the broken pieces or mends the wounds. i guess these letters are the way of me letting that responsibility (somewhat, never completely) go to someone that loves you just as much as i do.Β
this is the first letter of five. the next one you can read whenever you want, whenever you need a pick-me-up on a dark blue and dreary day. the others will follow suit. this is the letter where i have to let you go as being just my big sister. i know youβll always be there, but i know things are going to change too and thatβs okayβwe knew it would happen one day. while i might be letting you a little loose to run on your own, always know that your little brother is right here waiting for you when you need to come back.Β
your big day is today and while it might not be some huge ceremony with hundreds of people and thousands of dollars in decorations, it feels right. it feels like everything is finally falling into place how it should and iβm so thankful i get to see it happen right next to you.Β
donβt ever forget how much i love you, okay? weβve been through hell and back together and i would be lost without you. youβre a strong, beautiful, talented, and amazing woman and i canβt wait to see whatβs to come when youβre (gross!) married.Β
hereβs to you and hereβs to timothΓ©e and hereβs to a life filled with love from everyone around you.Β
