From Ellis

Dear Clara,

There’s really an endless list f great things I can say about you. You are such an incredibly thoughtful and intelligent person, both academically and also emotionally. There have been so many times I have been inspired by your drive and goodness, you are a big reason why I try to do well in school and a big reason I’m not a jerk, thank you for being the very best of role models for me, I love having such amazing older sisters so much! I am so very grateful for all you’ve been willing to do for me, I’ve really loved being able to go to the same school as you, and having the opportunity to hangout with you so much more with our car rides to school, even just the simple things like listening to music and bits of chatter along the way, it’s been so special for me. I love how much you want others to be happy and succeed, something you did recently that I really appreciate is you picking out a bunch of really great cloth options for me. It really helped me feel seen and a lot more confident recently. Very few people are willing to do that for their picky younger brothers, so thank you. I am also very jealous of your incredible ability as an artist and a baker and just your ability to exceed in anything. Your eye and passion for fashion is so very cool!! I love all the moments we laughed about some silly joke Millie’s room (for example, the infamous call of the wind incident), or when you make some reference to something I’m not yet caught up on, or talking about all the random things that happened at school and getting your insights about things happening in my life. I remember the first time I got an invited to hangout with you and Millie post bedtime, I felt so cool. I am so excited to see what you choose to do with their future, I’m positive you’ll achieve amazing things in any place you put your mind to. I feel so incredibly lucky to have such an amazing older sister, and will miss you a ton, so you better be back all the time! Love you!

-Sincerely, Ellis

I also made a very random playlist with a few songs from the drive to school, or that randomly reminded me of you, if I ever want to take a listen
