Dear Madison and Makenzie


Dear Madison and Makenzie,

 

I was meant to be the leader.

I was supposed to show you the way

And to make sure you did not make the same mistakes I did.

 

I was supposed to teach you.

I was a role model in how you were meant to act

And how to face challenges you might face in the future.

 

I was not needed for these roles.

You two could take of yourselves

And had each other to rely on in times of need.

 

I instead learned from you.

You taught me so many more things

Than I ever could have in a school textbook.

 

I love you so much.

I always joke about having been an only child

But the truth is you were truly the best gift I ever received.

 

I will miss you so much.

With college coming up I wish I could just take you with me

But I know that I have to move on with my life.

 

Your loving sister,

Mikayla
