Dear Jamie

Hello again.

So I feel like I need to tell you something really important about me. 

I love my sisters. 

We all have totally different personalities and it just makes going home so fun.

I'm sure you'll hear about all of them soon enough, but 

today I want to tell you about Jamie...

Jamie and I are only 11 and a half months apart, so we are the same age for a little over a week.

When we were younger, we weren't best friends, 

but that all changed in 6th grade when we had to share a room. 

Jamie has been my best friend since. 

We also kind of adore taking pictures together.

We have stayed close through it all.

I think a big part of us being so great together is because she is so forgiving.

If we ever got in a fight, she was over it in minutes.

I am not so good in that way.

Even though I'm her big sister, she seems so much wiser than me and she is 

constantly teaching me through her actions.

Jamie is a great listener. 

Looking back, I swear I was always talking, and she would always listen.

As girls, I think we need listeners- not always fixers.

It's just nice to tell someone.

She is that someone for me. She has always been there for me.

 ...and I'm there for her too of course.

And sometimes she acts like she's a big deal and pretends that she doesn't think I'm the coolest, 

but that's ok, because I know I'm the coolest person in her world probably.

We've really been through it all...

She was totally involved in the engagement process.

When I moved out to go to school, Jamie and I had this song and she texted it to me. 

I cried my eyes out!

"After you go, I can catch up on my reading
After you go, I'll have a lot more time for sleeping
And when you're gone
Looks like things are gonna be a lot easier
Life will be a breeze you know
I really should be glad
But I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad. You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue
After you go, I'll have a lot more room in my closet
After you go, I'll stay out all night long if I feel like it
And when you're gone
I can run through the house screaming
And no one will ever hear me
I really should be glad
But I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad.
You're the only light this empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue
I don't have to miss no TV shows, I can start my whole life over
Change the numbers on my telephone, But the nights will sure be colder
And I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue"

If you haven't heard it you need to listen to it right now.
Or when you're missing someone terribly. 

Anyways, she's kind of an amazing sister and best friend.

Love you J-Rose.
