Birthday letter for your brother

Dear little brother,

Happy birthday! I still remember the first time I held you. You were red-faced and screaming, and I was terrified I'd drop you. Mom told me to support your head, and I've been trying to support you in one way or another ever since.

You've grown into someone I genuinely look up to, which is strange to admit to the kid who used to eat sand at the beach. You're thoughtful, hardworking and loyal. You treat people with respect, you stand up for what's right, and you still have that silly laugh that makes the whole room join in.

I know I wasn't always the easiest older sibling. I bossed you around, hogged the computer and made you play the villain in every game. If it helps, you were a fantastic villain. Underneath all of that, I was always rooting for you, and I always will be.

The letter

Dear little brother,

Happy birthday! I still remember the first time I held you. You were red-faced and screaming, and I was terrified I'd drop you. Mom told me to support your head, and I've been trying to support you in one way or another ever since.

You've grown into someone I genuinely look up to, which is strange to admit to the kid who used to eat sand at the beach. You're thoughtful, hardworking and loyal. You treat people with respect, you stand up for what's right, and you still have that silly laugh that makes the whole room join in.

I know I wasn't always the easiest older sibling. I bossed you around, hogged the computer and made you play the villain in every game. If it helps, you were a fantastic villain. Underneath all of that, I was always rooting for you, and I always will be.

Whatever this next year holds, new jobs, new places, new adventures, I'll be cheering you on from wherever I am. Call me when you need to. Call me when you don't.

Love you always,

Make it personal

  1. 1

    Pick one memory. The treehouse that fell down, the haircut you gave him, the long drives. Specific beats generic.

  2. 2

    Mix the joke with the real thing. Brothers often skip the soft stuff. One sincere line after the joke means a lot.

  3. 3

    Choose the channel. A quick text or group chat for a one-liner, a card or letter for a milestone.
