My Mother, i mean sister...

This blog is all about my beautiful sister tiffany from the point of view from her wide eyed and idolizing little brother. you may think that sounds like a sandberg exaggeration, but... you're mistaken. Tiffany is my idol and i'll tell you why. Tiffany doesn't really know this but i remember when i was younger and in elementary school a teacher would ask us all to write a paper on our hero. now i remember my little brain wondering who i admire and look up to most. everyone else wrote about their parents. i wrote about my sister. you see i never could understand it but my sister tiffany Never excluded me. if she went somewhere, I came along. although i don't really ever remember her giving me the choice- ha she would just say, "hey ryan get your shoes on, were going to my friends house." of course i would have said yes everytime she asked anyways. She even took me on dates! and by that i mean, her, a boy, and ME. even when it was to a place i really didn't wanna go like castles and coasters or something. i'm way afraid of roller coasters yet there i was, riding the swinging pirate ship! (tiff is the only person to ever have been sly enough to even get me in line for one of those things, let alone ride it.) "oh its not even bad, its like your swings at recess..." her including me was such a small thing really, but eventually i started noticing that not every little brother is fanned and fed grapes like i was. my friends sometimes would ask their sisters, "hey will you get me some water?" afterwhich i'd be surprised to see the sibling say, "bite me". oh. i thought. thank you tiffany. perhaps one of tiffany's GREATEST moments for me was when she announced that she's bringing her soccer team over to our house for a slumber party. it was a FEMALE soccer team mind you. and they were all models in my eyes, them being two grades older! ah, shangri la. now lets assess the situation. WHO, tell me who would let their brother hang out with the team? my sister is the best. we went tee peeing, and made gingerbread houses, and made mummies out of each other.. i remember it like it was yesterday. (although my vision was a little blurry because tiff said i would score more points with the girls if i didn't wear my glasses...) anyway. just so all you know, this is the caliber of person were dealing with. this is Tiffany Knox. she's an amazing mother and friend. and i mean that with all my heart. tiff and me get along like anzlie with a microphone. Everytime i am graced with the opportunity to be with her i have a Blast. sigh! JUST TALKING ABOUT HER makes me miss her guts! i CANNOT wait to see her again. she is more talented than anyone i know, more than she realizes i'm sure. every action she performs is something remarkable. as her little brother, i'm always a couple rungs down on the ladder looking up with determination to do the same. what a view! haha jk.. i admire you tiffy, never forget it. your little brother thinks you are his hero. and he loves you a buttload. thanks for truly being one of the best sisters ever to raise a brother on this planet. :)

thank you ryan for that. you are definately not a rung on the ladder to get to my level. I taught you things but much to my surprise you were better at everything I tried to teach you so I just gave in and thought, man , I must be a good teacher. I cant wait to see what you do in the next few years. I cant wait for you to experience the most exciting moments in life and I want to be right there with you. I love you
