Maybe someday I will see the moon swallow the sun

And I will look away out of respect

The rain drops The car’s windshield wipes them away Then repeat Pitter patter of down pour Swoosh of wind shield

It looks like the rain drops in The exact same place every time. Reincarnating the same pattern Of drops on repeat. The rain falls consistently.

However it doesn’t. The rain drops slightly shift After each wipe.

No one notices this. Everyone thinks that rain Is consistent.

I have been told on multiple occasions that we look exactly alike, one the carbon-copy of the future and one of the past. I choose to tell you on a site that you will never find the words that I lack the _____ to tell you in person: I truly admire you. Although we butt heads most of the time, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have so many of the characteristics that I value. Your unflagging stubbornness or sheer determination and your constant search for novelty have worn off on me. You taught me how to appreciate small things in life and how to be strong in the face of the greater schemes of life.

Although I am absolutely horrible at showing it, I am grateful for you and everything you've done. I know how hard you work for what you love and how much you've sacrificed for me and the rest of the family. You've given so much. So much. You've put us before everything else and no matter what, you always have our best interests at heart. You have always been there, cheering me on, sometimes pushing and sometimes pulling me towards the end goal. This has also taught me how to say no (hah).
