For as long as I can remember I have been notorious for being the annoying little sister. I did the typical things: bothered her and her friends, disagreed with her just to get a rise out of her, and used all of her things without asking.
To say the least, I was a complete hellion to my sister Marley.
These crazy antics of mine continued through elementary school and into middle school, until she went off to college at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
What was I going to do with myself? I no longer had someone to constantly annoy nor was I able to “borrow things without giving them back.”
But most importantly I no longer had someone to laugh with, watch movies with, or someone to seek advice from.
Whether my sister knew it or not, she was my role model for absolutely everything. From her clothes, to her makeup, and how well she did in school. She was everything I aspired to be like.
Now that we are both older, I’m in college and she has started a new life with her husband and a new job, I think it’s safe to say that we’ve grown incredibly close.
Marley is the first person I tell things to, who I go to for advice, the person I call when something hilarious happens on Tru TV’s “Impractical Jokers,” or just to catch up on what has been going on in each others life.
On November 11, 2017, I gave a speech at Marley’s wedding where I stated: “I care about my sister more than anyone else here today…” That remains true for everyday.
We may fight with our siblings and do dumb things just to annoy them, we will always have their back and grow closer as the years go by.
And to my sister: thank you for being you and for allowing me to grow up with such an amazing role model in my life, I don’t know where I would be without you.
