Dear Savannah, 

My best friend, my family, the one I can always count on for anything. And on my darkest days, you shine the brightest light with your big smile and your laugh. We’ve grown with each other and continue to better one another. Being around you makes me a better person, a better friend, a better sister.  There’s nothing that makes me more happy than seeing you be successful in all of your passions. To watch you succeed in your music, art, and academics is a bigger accomplishment than anything I could watch myself succeed in. I'm forever grateful to have an amazing, kind, and warm person like you in my life. The kindness I exhibit is the kindness I've learned from you. There’s no one I'd rather be with on my best and my worst days.  I hope everyone has or finds a Savannah in their life because I'm not sure what I would do without mine.
