Dear sister, how I have missed you so much, your innocent heart, your beautiful smile, your kind heart and our unnecessary fight. Growing up with you is one of the greatest gifts God gave me. It's been five years since I saw you but before then we've grown far apart, I remember getting a call from complaining bitterly about how I don't call or check up on you I felt bad but didn't change, If only I knew then that time is precious and we should make most of it.
I came across this picture on Facebook and it took me back memory lane, how we were always together with no care in the world. It was you and I against the world, you will always listen to my crazy stories and pay keen attention to my needs. You don't care about yourself you just want to see your sister's laughter, sometimes I still wonder what happened to our bond. I don't know if you remember this picture but that was the first time we went to the mall ourselves and we had crazy fun. It sure was a great outing. I miss going out with you.
I'm so sorry I didn't know how to be a big sister, and I'm so sorry I left you hanging most of the time, I wish I knew what I know now, I was so selfish with my dreams and aspirations in life that I didn't create time for our relationship. You mean so much to me I wish I told you that more often.
We grew up in an environment where they compared both of us most often and to everyone, I was the perfect daughter and you are not and this affected your self-esteem. I wish I stood up for you more often and told you how I admire your strength. You don't have to be like me, you are amazing, just the way you are.
The comparison between you and I got too much you started withdrawing from me, and I noticed it but didn't reach out to you, to me it wasn't a big deal, you will always come around but you didn't, it's almost a decade now and we've never had any meaningful conversations and it hurts like crazy.
See another picture of us I saw on Facebook, our beach trip! We went to the beach with our brothers and they spoiled us silly, we had an amazing time and we didn't want to leave. I am feeling nostalgic right now.
Now I know the importance of building and maintaining a bond. I'm sorry for my ignorance. I take responsibility for my actions and inactions. I know it will take time but I am ready to make all the sacrifices needed to win your trust again and be best of friends.
To my sister with the most beautiful smile. I love you endlessly.❤️
May we never be too busy to build meaningful relationships with our friends and family. We feel they will always be there and don't put the effort into knowing them. Life is short please don't make the same mistake I did. A second chance is not guaranteed.
