Teanuh's moving at the end of the month.
Though she spent most of her college years away from home,
my younger sister was always just a driving distance away.
But this time, she's moving to Colorado.
And Colorado.....is kinda far from Texas.
And if I have to be honest, I'm actually going to miss her....
Not enough to drive there but enough to be kinda, sorta sad.
You see, growing up, she was always a thorn on my side.
There were plenty of times where I wanted to
punch her in the throat and kick her in the face.
Her smart ass quips would drive me insane but as we grew older,
I begin to appreciate her well timed sarcasm and snark.
She wasn't intentionally rude, she was just born that way.
Teanuh, I've always felt that you grew up too fast.
While everyone else was partying,
you graduated early and started working far too hard.
As your older sister, I've always felt inadequate
because no matter how difficult things got for you,
you've remained independent and strong,
because that's who you are...or at least who you try to be.
I know you've been counting the days til you leave
but I've actually been dreading the day you drive away.
I don't ever really say it....
but thanks for being just the way you are.
