Big to Little

I have just been sitting here doing nothing (studying) and I happened to glance at a picture of my sister and I. For those of you who don't know, I have a sister who is 9 years old now. Honestly being an older brother has totally changed my life and I know that every older sibling can say the same thing. Just reminiscing on those old days I can only think about good memories about my sister. From the time when she was only a year old and I had to baby sit her and entertain her while my parents were out. How she followed me around and copied everything I did. These are the things I remember when I think back on my sister and honestly I can truly say that I love her. For all of you older siblings I know you can each remember times when your siblings followed you and worshiped the ground you walked on and I know that you smile at those moments because the older they get the less this happens and the more you miss them. You miss the times that you could have spent with them, but chose not to and now that those times are gone you wish you could go back in time and live those moments again. No doubt they annoyed you to death at some point in your lives, but (at least to my mind) those are times that I wouldn't trade for the world. For all those littles out there know that your brother/sister will always care about you. Don't take advantage of them and don't hold the past against them, they do the stupidest things to make up for it. Just take some time out of your day to talk and spend time with them. Bigs don't spoil the shit out of your siblings too much even though you want to. All I can say now is that I can't wait till my sister grows up and maybe realize how much her brother cares for her. And maybe one day we'll sit together when we're old and grown up and think back on our childhood together.
