Well, how do I start this letter? I look back at the good times that we had when we were little. The things that we used to do are memories that will be with me always. I know that you will never read this, but this letter is going to help me get some things out I have kept in for so many years.

I am going to be 16 in a couple of months! Can you believe it? You're little sister is not so little anymore. I am going to be a junior in high school in fall. I can't wait! The last time that I saw you was on my 15th birthday, and that was only for a little while. You ran away when you were only in 8th grade, you are now almost 20 years old. I don't know what has become of you. You wrote me a letter saying that you were doing good and that you were going to come back for me. Well, I sit here wondering why you never kept that promise. You have missed so much in my life. And I really wish that you were here for me. You are my only REAL blood. And my everything. The day you left my heart shattered. I love you so much, even with all of the pain you have given me. I just want you to know that I forgive you. And I will always love you. You are my big brother, please, if you are out there, come to me. And don't ever leave.

Sometimes when I am alone, I start to think about you. I wonder if you will be there on my wedding day to watch your sister walk down the isle. I wonder if you still think about me. Or if you even still care. But, I will never know until the day that you come home and wrap your arms around me and tell me that you are going to be there for good. That you are never going to leave me again. Maybe these are just hopes and dreams, but nothing is impossible. Please come home, Donny.

With Love, your little Sister
