“Dear Jonah,

I feel bad for putting this burden on you but I know you’re tough enough. I don’t know anyone stronger than you. You’ve survived my family so I know you can handle this.

“I didn’t think I’d write one of these letters but with everything going on here, I realize, I’d better. Somewhere in my mind I’ve always known that tomorrow isn’t promised to us, but being out here, that idea is an ever-present and lurking reality. I thought for a long time about who to send this to, but it’s clear you’re the only person I know who can handle this responsibility. Just like you’ve handled everything you’ve ever had to do.

“When I really sit down and reflect on my life up to this point I see how much of an unsung hero you are in our family. When chaos and trouble are all around you, somehow you calm everyone. I thought for a while it was just me you were there for, but really it’s been everyone. You helped Tavia work up the courage to do a back handspring in gymnastics. You beat up that guy who was dating both Gabby and Lona at the same time. You let my crazy mom be her normal, pushy self as you and Bianca planned your wedding, and, on that day, somehow you managed to thank her for it. Without a bit of hesitation, you’re the first one to give my dad a hand when he’s working out in the yard. It may seem like these are all small things, and maybe they are if you were related to us, but you do all this by choice. No matter how overwhelming the situation or how hard we Coglinaeses make it, you keep showing up and helping all of us.

“I don’t know how my family will get through, this but I’m asking you to make sure they do. It won’t happen all at once, and it won’t be easy, but I know with you there someone will always be watching out for my sisters. Someone will always be giving my dad a hand and graciously accepting my mother’s unsolicited advice. Having four older sisters hasn’t been easy, but it led me to the gift of having an older brother and is something I’ll always be grateful for. Thank you for having my back. Thank you for helping me show them this is where I belong. And now, thank you for being there when I can’t be. You are my brother.”
