Senior siblings say goodbye

Toni McPhee

Dear Kade,

All I ask of you is to “try not to suck” because that would really suck. I hope that you work hard in school and in all of your sports. I want you to make great pages in yearbook and maybe become an Editor-in-Chief some day. You might not be as good as me… but you can always try!! I want to see you go to state in whatever sports you continue to play. In swimming, focus on the 500 and swim faster. It’s the only way! In baseball, hit the ball harder and run faster. Unless you learn how to hit dingers; because then you don’t have to run fast. Continue the Dolphin legacy and carry on my big ego! (Don’t be like Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2, he’s uncool) But be confident that you’re the best, that way everyone will love you… or hate you. (Maybe people hate that, I’m not for sure) But they hate you because they ain’t you, so don’t worry about it. Be the best you can be and don’t let anyone tell you differently. You can do it, I believe in you! You’re a Dolphin ‘Eee eee’ so don’t let me down!

Sincerely, Keagan

 

Dear Jazzy,

Thank you for showing me what courage looks like. I know I’m the older sister but you always have been the brave one. You are so organized compared to when all my clothes are dirty on the floor, my grades a D until the last two weeks of school and ice cream is dripping down my favorite shirt (that is really yours and you let me borrow it.) You have borrowed my heart sister. When I leave for college, you will keep it at home with you. Tuck it under your pillows, under your sleeve, think of your older sister when you go to sleep. I hope you learn to braid pride down your spine, the same way we used to braid Bratz dolls hair. I’m sorry I can’t stick around and play with you anymore but remember I’m only a phone call away. I love you sister.

Love, Jalesha
