As it turned out, this boy’s entire assignment had been about his little sister, who was only two at the time. His child development class had required him to keep an observational diary about a younger kid. Who better to focus on than his own sibling? At the end of the journal, this big brother wrote the most beautiful letter to the toddler. Kelsey Ann shared a photo of it on social media, and it brought us to tears!
In his letter, the teenage boy told his little sister just how much she meant to him. He was grateful to her for bringing joy into his life and inspiring him to be a better person. Then, this big brother made her the most precious promise.
“I know I will always, without a doubt take care of you, protect you, listen to you and love you,” he wrote.
Kelsey Ann explained in her social media post that she was 17 years younger than her sibling. She hadn’t seen this heartfelt letter before, and reading it filled her with emotion. According to her caption, her brother kept all of the sweet promises he made to her in his journal.
Apparently, this young man’s diary had been filed away for Kelsey Ann to discover in the future. She found it in a baby chest filled with sentimental items for her to pass down to her own children, should she choose to become a mom. We’re sure this little sister is going to hold on to her brother’s journal for a long time!
