An Open Letter to my Sister...

Hello beautiful, 

     I found myself wondering how I love someone so deeply that lives miles and miles away.  Wondering how I am making it through on all the days I don't get to see your face or hear your voice.  Most of all I just wonder why God had to place you so far away.  Even though I have to put more effort into our relationship it still feels effortless.  It is as if being here for you is just a simple calling placed on my little heart.  I don't think you could ever know how much I miss you, but I guess you probably feel the same way.  I just wish we could live in our moments full of laughter even when we have no idea why we are laughing.  For some reason talking to you makes any day easier and brighter.  You take my days that are blue for no apparent reason and give me a thousand reasons to smile.  I know that I'll always be able to count on you even if we go a while without talking.  What we have is pretty solid.  I feel as if I'll never be completely at home ever again because they say home is where your heart is and my heart is always elsewhere.  I think that is just the price paid for the blessing of loving and knowing people in more than one place.  Sometimes it is the person that live hundreds of miles away can make you feel better than the ones right by your side.  This world probably just can’t handle the overwhelming happiness of us being by each other’s side.  It fills me with great joy to know that we can grow separately without growing apart.  I am so proud of you.  There are countless moments where I know that I'll make it simply because God has blessed me with a friend and sister like you!  It is one crazy life.  Just accept now that you’ve got no clue and you will go far.  Give each moment up to God.  Seek simply to have Him thrive.  My darling you are going to conquer this world. 

I’ve come to realize we are all like crayons.  I may not be everyone’s favorite color but at some point, they will need me to complete their picture.  I’m just so happy I’ve been blessed to meet my favorite color and you’ve so radically changed my picture.  I love you so much my dear and lovely sister.

Distance means nothing when you mean everything. 
I'm not going anywhere, forever by your side. 

Until the next time, I get to see your face.... 

I love you!
