30-Day Letter Project: 4

To the one who teased my bangs and fixed my hair into a side ponytail more times than I can remember when I was little;

To the one who practiced WWF moves on me, but never broke any bones; who let me be the Robin to his Batman with Battleship laptops and bathroom cabinet Bat Caves; and who married someone who I would eventually come to consider blood;

To the two I have looked up to and admired since before I knew what “cool” was; the two with whom I have inside jokes I can’t remember well enough to explain to anybody else;

Guys?

I MISS YOU. All.

Also, I can’t thank my sister enough for bringing my beautiful nieces into this world.

And big brother and his wonderful wife for Velvet!
