Dear Jack,



               I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you and how much you mean to me. Ever since I was born, you've always had my back. I know ever since we've gotten older, there has yet to be a bigger pain in my butt than you, but now that you're gone to school, life is so much different without you. I love seeing how happy and excited you are for your future, making me just as excited for mine. You are such a hardworking and dedicated student. Although I've never mentioned this to you in person because its extremely hard to say, I'm am so glad you decided to take a gap year. I've lost count of how many times I've wished you were on your way to Western last year, but that was only because I knew how ready you were. You're such a great brother and I wanted to thank you for always being the first one there when I had a problem. Whether it was asking if you could beat someone up for me, beating me up, or just being your annoying,older-brother self, I can and will always count on you. I love you! Can't wait to have you home for the holidays.
