generous

your heart is more than generous, it is open and giving and receiving. especially for her. there is not a day that goes by where you don't allow yourself to get sucked into whatever ruby is doing or wants to be doing. you will pretend to be a dog, or help her create a meal in her kitchen, or dress up and play hide-and-seek. and it's not just the fun stuff...you will take her to the bathroom or help her take a bath or clean up a mess. your love really knows no limits when it comes to your sister. no matter what you are doing, you will almost always ditch it to hang out with her instead.
you rush home from your game to help her get ready for a dance, you take a leave from a 'big kid' project and entertain/take care of her on a whim, you ask for things for her because you know you loved them when you were her age (movies, painted nails, experiences). you never scroll through my photos without stopping to 'oooh' and 'ahhh' at the ones with ruby in them. if you take 10 pictures or videos, more than half will contain her. when the two of you are in the backseat together, you're most often right up next to her instead sitting with a seat buffer.
her adoration for you is evidenced in the way she lights up when you enter the room. she always wants maddux, she always asks when you'll be home. what you have given her in the way of unconditional love allows her to know that you are a safe place and she can come to you for anything from entertainment to a scraped knee. you are the epitome of #bigsistergoals.
