Memoirs of a sister, daughter and friend.

Alex lay in the hospital bed with a paper and pen the nurse gave her. She wasn't sure how much time she had left, so she wanted to write a note in case time ran out.

Dear Justin,

My big brother. I'm so proud of you. I was always jealous of how perfect you were. I'm sorry for all the times I picked on you and teased you. For all the pranks I pulled on you. I'm sorry for not telling you I love you enough. But if there was one thing I could tell you now it's that I love you. I will miss you when I'm gone. And please don't cry when you read this. Just be happy knowing I'm in a better place. It's okay to miss me, but don't cry. I don't want you to feel that much pain. I love you and always have. You're my big brother and my best friend. Just remember, when you're going to sleep at night or when you're crying, that I will always be with you.

Maxie,

Maxamillion, Max, little bro. I want you to know that I love you, too. Me and you were never as close as me and Justin. But I love you just the same. I want you to remember all those times we had and the love we shared. Just remember all the pranks we pulled on each other and they'll make you smile. I love you, Maxie.

Mom,

I'm sorry for all the times I defied you, for telling you I hate you. But you know I never once actually hated you. I know these last few weeks have been hard on you and Dad. And I know it's going to be harder in these coming years when I'm gone. But I'm still your daughter, Mom. And just look at Justin and Max and you'll see me. You'll see me in the way they act. I don't want you to cry so much, Mom. You already have while I've been in here. I know it hurts. But I love you. I always will.

Dad,

I love you, Daddy. You're my hero, my troubadour. Even though I won't be on Earth, I'll always be your little girl. Remember my quinceanera when we danced? Remember when we used to listen to Butterfly Kisses every night and you'd almost cry? Well remember those. Remember the day I was born and you held me in your arms. When you said I was the most beautiful thing you had ever seen. Dad, today I'm using magic for the last time. You taught me well how to live without magic. I hope you'll be okay. I do love you.
