Eva

Dear Eva,

You make really strange noises when you sleep.

I'm sorry I pick on you so much...

I don't know how to properly get out my anger

I usually do it by picking on you and/or punching my ex-boyfriend.

You are one of the most gorgeous people I have ever seen.

It makes me really jealous and angry

One of the reasons I pick on you.

You enjoy school quite a bit

You're really good at it too.

You're only 10 but I am now sure from what you were telling me today

about the five page play you are writing

that you have achieved the point in your life at which

you are pretty much the smartest person here...

in this waiting room.

Eva,

You sing a lot...

And you run around the house twirling

like butterflies used to do before they turned plastic.

You make me smile and laugh

You remind me what its like not to think about

how many minutes are left until I get to leave.

You talk to animals like they are babies

You draw pictures of flowers and little

cottages nestled in the woods

where they should be.

You still think boys are gross...

I envy that trait.

You don't over-think ****

So innocent, so straight to the point.

You are an annoying little *****

But I love you.

And I hope you know that.

You are my sister

I will always be here

for you.
