An Ode To Linsey

I love my family. I love both of my sisters. I love my brother. They all have had an impact on my life one way or another. Today though I would like to make a special tribute to my sister Linsey.

Linsey and I are close in age. In school she was 2 grades ahead of me so we went to High School together. Her friends were my friends, and my friends were her friends. So we were always together. She would tell me things that she wouldn't tell anyone else. We would be so silly that we would drive my mom nuts! She would get upset at us because we would just giggle. We would giggle for no reason. We both had rooms downstairs. They were right next to each other. I remember one night, it was the last night of summer, and the next day we would have to get up and go to school. So we were listening to music in her room and we were laughing and being silly. We decided that we wanted to have a sleepover so I went upstairs and asked my mom if I could sleep in Linsey's room for a sleepover. She looked at me like I was nuts but said yes. We had a great night. We had to share a bathroom downstairs, but there would be times when I was all ready for the day and she wanted me to sit with her and talk with her while she would do her hair and get ready. It was little things like that, that we did together all the time. She was my best friend.

She protected me from dangers and was there for me when boys were being jerks, or when my friends decided that they didn't like me anymore. We were like twins. I love her. I wish she lived closer so we can be silly together. So we can watch movies, and play games. I miss her.

This week for some reason I have been thinking about her a lot and that is why I made this Tribute. Linsey I love you, and I'm glad that you are my sister. Thank you for all the things you have done for me, and for the better person you make me.
