Lesson 12: Be A Good Sister

Let’s be real Trav. It is not always easy being a good sibling. Fighting is kind of apart of the relationship, and there are bound to be times when you don’t get along or you flat out don’t like each other. This is especially difficult when you’re twelve years older than your sibling.

            You know that Mo and I don’t always see eye to eye. Having such a huge age gap makes it hard for her to understand where I’m coming from because she hasn’t been there yet, and hard for me to understand where she’s coming from because it’s been so long since I was that young. Still, I have no excuse.

“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech, but with actions and in truth.”

1 John 3:18

I’m the older sister, and it’s my responsibility to teach Morgan what’s right and to be a good role model. When we were younger, you never let me get away with anything in front of Mo specifically for that reason – because you knew it would come back to bite you in the butt if you let me get away with something and not her.

            Well, and because you always remembered that I had to be that role model for her, and you were always quick to remind me. So don’t you worry Big Dude. I’m doing my best to take care of Mo the way a big sister should, and I’m trying to be a good role model for her as well. Because let’s face it, you would never let me be any less.

Love, Bubba
