Day 84- My Jackie

Hey guys,

    So, let's face it. Jack and I get along like MAYBE 5% of the time, but ironically, that is because we are actually very alike in many ways. We are both loud and outspoken, we can be VERY stubborn, and we're both relatively impulsive. I cannot tell you how many times I get mad or frustrated with him, but at the end of the day, I love him, because he's my brother. I love being a big sister, I love that whenever I'm home, I've got someone to hang out with, and I love that I have the opportunity to be a big sister. I'm not gonna lie, sometimes, I don't set a very good example for him, and sometimes I have to stop myself from just doing what I want to because I WANT TO, and realize, "Hold on, there's three little boys, watching you. Are you going to set a good example?" But having Jack around especially has led me to step out of the cliche role of the youngest, the princess, the baby, and step INTO the role of the sister, the example, the role model, but above all, the SISTER. Being a big sister has brought me so much joy, and so many laughs, and so many wonderful, hilarious, and embarrassing moments, but I wouldn't give it up for the world. So Jack, thank you for holding me accountable, for looking up to me, for coming to me when you have a problem, and for having fun with me. Thank you for KNOWING how to push my buttons, because it's always easy to be patient when things are fine, but when I'm frustrated, I need to learn that I still need to be loving towards you, and I still need to be your sister. I love you Jackie!!!!
