Every time you glance my way, I swear the room gets a few degrees warmer. And no, it's not a broken thermostat; it's the blazing love you emit! As the eldest, you didn't just grab the responsibility baton; you sprinted with it like it had your favorite Dashboard song playing in the background. Watching you with your brother? It's like seeing a rock star in her element, only the stage is our living room and the adoring fans, well, that's all of us. Your mom skills? A cocktail of lioness fierceness with a dash of teddy bear softness - shaken, not stirred. Your father's absence casts a shadow, but you? You're the torchbearer, turning shadows into warm sunlit corners. Vermont? Sure, it's a plane ride away, but you've built a love bridge that's way faster than any airline. Every day, with every fiery heartbeat of yours, I'm reminded why falling for you wasn't just inevitable, it was the best darn choice I ever made.
