dear lauren: let's fix this

dear lauren,
i want you to know that i really, really

really

love you.

i'm mean sometimes. i blame you for a lot of things that aren't your fault. i tell you that you don't understand in the name of being older than you, and i forget that you have problems of your own. and i'm so, so sorry.

but guess what?

you're my sister.

 that's means that no matter what, i'm always going to be here.

i'm always going to help you with whatever you need.

and i'm always

always

going to love you.

in three years, we're going to go on an outing before i leave for college, and i'll be telling you how much i love you over and over again.

in 15 years, we're going to be calling each other saying how silly we were when we used to fight over who got to use the bathroom first or why did you steal my socks?

one day we're both going to be moms and our daughters will be best friends. someday we're going to be old ladies who still hang out and have tea parties and watch disney princess movies and bake cookies.

one day we're going to be best friends.

how about today?

let's fix this. let's be best friends.

deal?

deal.

love, nicole
