A letter to Piper Grae

To my baby Piper Grae,

You are currently a beautiful blue eyed baby four year old fighting your battle of Epilepsy in that hospital bed. I never know what to say but I love you, I love you so much and I am immensely proud of you. I wish I could take this away. I wish I could do something to help but I cant. I am so fond of you. I have never loved someone as much as I have you. From your beautiful blue eyes, to your beautiful smile and your funny, cheeky personality. I thank you Pippy, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing so much joy into all our lives from putting the cat in the fridge, to walking up to the pub at the age of 3 on your own and to naming your pet horse HAPPYBIRTHDAYCAKE. Life would be oh so boring without you.

I just want to wrap my arms around you and give you the greatest cuddle, I have dedicated my whole year 12 project on the Piper Grae Crawford because what better person to do it on.

Although, you’re only four right now I hope when you grow up you can cherish this letter and picture and just admire how loved you are and how gorgeous you are at such a young age. I know by the time you read and understand this you’re going to be something big and something great. An actress? A TV presenter? Emma Wiggle? A doctor? A life changer? A motivational speaker? An inventor? Piper you my girl can do anything.

You are the most affectionate little girl but also the biggest devil, but I love it. I love it so much. The memories with you is what makes everything worthwhile.

You are like my angel with a love that always glows. You are one of the greatest gifts my heart will ever know.

Although we aren’t blood, I will forever call you my family. I will stand by you always and cheer you on constantly.

I wish for you that epilepsy can give you a break, I hope that the battle gets a little easier.

Some sisterly advice, Never change. Never stop being you. You are perfect just the way you are, I’ve said that since the minute I met you. You have a whole army who loves you for you and that won’t ever change.

Love Chlo, your eldest sister x
