God Gave Me You

"God Gave Me You" is a great song by Blake Shelton. Now most people would consider the person he's talking about to be a lover, but whenever I hear this song, I think of my sister.
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
I vaguely remember the day my sister was born, I was 2 (almost 3) and I came with my grandparents. That is literally all I remember of that day, but hey, I consider that a pretty good memory for being about 18 years old! I would only assume that I would've had mixed emotions about this brand new baby: Yay I got a little baby sister, WTF why isn't the attention on me anymore, who the crap is this kid, etc. Little did I know, that was one of the most awesome days of my life. I got to play the role of the older sister, getting her to do things she shouldn't/normally wouldn't, getting her in trouble, hugging and kissing her when the moment was right (usually when a camera was around!). When we were younger, we always used to fight. It wasn't until around my senior year/the summer after that we got to be really close. All I can say is that I wish this would've happened sooner, because she is AMAZING, and I love her so so soooooo much!!! I honestly didn't even know her very well until that point. It's a wonder what can be hidden behind closed doors. 

She is my rock, my inspiration, my everything. When I have news, or troubles, I go to her. I can tell her anything and everything and know that she will not judge me like everyone else would. She will love me unconditionally. She has been through many tough times so far. She's had a crazy ex boyfriend, she (to this very day) gets made fun of and teased at school, and dealt with many internal problems that most teenage girls face. But what makes me so proud of her is that she's been able to hold her head high through everything, giving a silent (and sometimes not so silent) fuck you to the people making their judgments. She is gorgeous, she is athletic (most likely playing college volleyball next year), she is smart, she is funny (in the way that she can laugh at herself, which just makes you love her more), and she has the biggest heart of anyone that I know! **So I'd just like to add a little side note to any and everyone that has ever had shit to say about her: you may know her name, but you sure as hell don't know her. If you did, you wouldn't be talking shit. Seriously, that bullshit is for petty middle schoolers with no lives. Grow up. She's going to go on to accomplish great things, and karma is going to come back and kick you right in the testicles.**

She may be my sister, but she's the best sister that I could've ever asked for! She's a friend, therapist, and comedian all in one. I honestly do not know what I would do without her. Life would suck more balls than it currently does (and that's pretty shitty giving my 2011 could possibly be the WORST YEAR EVER). I just want her to know how amazing she is!!! If I could, I'd scream it on the rooftops: MORGAN CHRISTINE PERRY IS ONE OF THE BEST FUCKING PEOPLE OUT THERE AND EVERYONE SHOULD LOVE HER!!!! LOVE HER LONG TIME!!! She will be turning 18 in less than a month, and that scares the crap out of me (can't imagine how my parents feel)! I remember when she used to play dress up with me, we even did a few make up sessions (which did NOT turn out well, mother should've known better than to let us have make up). I remember her little "fangs" that she used to have to wear. I remember her first Homecoming (my last). I remember her first boyfriend (thank God he's gone...sorry haha). I remember her getting her license (still holding the fact that she passed the first time over my head). I've missed a lot over the past years here at college, but that doesn't mean that it didn't crush me to miss it. But I was definitely there in spirit!! I'll always be your personal cheerleader (but remember, the only cheerleader I would ever be is a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, otherwise lets just call it a spirit motivator)!!

So Morgan, whenever you are doubting your abilities to do things or deal with things, just know that I believe in you. I believe that you can do anything you set your mind to! You have the capability to change the world and you don't even know it. Don't let anyone make you think you are anything less than what you are, which is spectacular! I love you so much!! I wish nothing more than to see you happy, in EVERYTHING you do. Never doubt yourself. (Also, I'm not the favorite. I guess it's a "tie", Mom even said so.) God gave me you :)
