My little ones are my two younger brothers. I love them both to death although I’m not close to them. Through the years of 2020 to now I feel like I felt responsible for them as an older sister. I am the oldest alongside my twin of four. My two younger brothers are my life although I wasn’t too active in theirs I still try to be around. I know my brothers think I’m mean sometimes but it’s tough love, I like to think. I hope my little ones don’t think of me differently ‘cause I’m incarcerated but when I get out I’m gonna let it be known I care for them.
I like to make sure my little brothers are on the right track, for example, making sure they do their homework or even keeping up with my older little brother (ten) making sure he practicing his football skills. I didn’t think of it till now, but I want them to be able to look up to me and see a successful older sister and I try my best to be a better sister too.
I know my little brother has so much he wants to say and I’m ready to be open ears. And I know my younger brothers are well younger but I still want to make them proud, just like I hope they make me proud. My baby brother (six) is the sweetest boy ever and I wish the best for him. When I get a job I know I’m gonna spoil them as much as my mom spoils them. At times there are frustrating days when they can be too annoying or bratty but looking back, I remember being like them.
I think my two younger brothers are very strong emotionally because of what we went through along the years. I always want them to know I’m always gonna be their older sister. No matter what, I love them both.
