1. I know I shouldn't be glad you're here...but I'm so glad you are. I can't say how much I missed you.

2. You were my family for a little while, and you can't know how much that means. It's wonderful to see you again.

3. You're a better sister than I ever was.

4. I'm so happy for you. You deserve a wonderful future.

5. We may never see entirely eye to eye, but you always have my respect.

6. You aren't going to lose me as a friend. Even when you make me mad, I know you did it for the right reasons.

7. I may hate what you're trying to teach me, but I'm so grateful you keep trying.

8. I don't know what's happened to you, but I'll be here to listen if you need it.

9. I hope you can see that it's really okay to be yourself. Even if it's only while you're here.
