2. Thank you for making me a part of your world too

3. Thank you for being my shield
On days when you were at fault, your big brother saved you from a scolding, covered for you, and even took the the blame – especially when it came to your parents. He did so because he loves you! You owe him your life for this one.

6. Thank you for being my partner in crime
When comes to escaping boring family functions and covering up with little white lies, the two of you are pros at it! Without him, you know life wouldn’t be as much fun. The best part is that the two of you help each other get out of these troublesome situations and have oodles of fun while doing it too!
