Alex,
You were attached to me like an extra limb. You were my little big sister and there was no one on this earth like you. You were funny, beautiful, creative, and the most ridiculous person I have ever met. Your 25th birthday was a hello kitty themed party. You wore jewelry in your hair and put on cat ears as you got ready for the day. Everything you owned was cropped, and you wouldn’t leave the house without bright red lipstick. Everything you touched became pink and sparkly, and we couldn’t get enough of you. You always said you needed me more, but the truth is I needed you too, Alex. You made me feel so very loved and it was truly a privilege having you as a sister.
Between all the matching outfits, sister trips, and custom birthday cakes; you always found a way to make me feel special. You finished my sentences and made me laugh until I fell on the floor. You made me hold your hand in public and we’d laugh when people thought we were dating. My sister, best friend, soul mate, twin five years apart. I will never be ready to say goodbye to you.
We had so many years of memories ahead of us. So many movies to watch, malls to walk around, and dessert to eat. You were supposed to watch my son grow up, and be the fun aunt he couldn’t wait to see. All you wanted was children and a family to call your own. You would’ve been the best mom, and you were already the best sister. I am now left to dream about the niece or nephew that I’ll never have. Dream about going to your wedding and watching you become the bridezilla we all know you would’ve been. Dream about us growing old together, and still making you pay for my meals when I’m 80 years old. Alex, there aren’t enough words to describe how much you’ll be missed. I feel you everywhere I go. Your voice lives inside my head. I don’t know where we go after our lives here end, but I know one day we will be together again.
Love always,
Your baby sister
