Today he turns another year older, and I cannot be there for him. My heart sinks when I realize it may be 3 years before I see him again. I miss him more than any words can tell. He is my brother, my best friend, my teacher, and my support. I miss the days we would sit outside of the school and just talk in the grass as the wind brushed past our faces and blew away our papers. I miss the times he would hopelessly try to teach me how to do algebra. The times we would dance and laugh, and I even miss the times we would cry with each other. I know they say you are never truly apart from someone, for you keep them in your heart. Although we also have technology... Even so, I have never felt so apart from you. You tell me your busy, and can never talk, or your off studying and you say I need to go to bed. I only want a hello. Just once. You used to text me every morning after you left for about a week. You would tell me "Have a good day at school, sissy. Don't cause too much trouble! And make sure to tell mom I say hello!" But where has that gone? You act as if I was never in your life now, as if we never had met. I miss you brother, I hope you know. We all miss you... Happy birthday. I hope it's a good one. I promise to watch out for the family as long as you promise me you'll stay healthy and safe... And say hello every once in a while.
I love you.
