pacificlandscapes

With all of the chaos going on in this world right now and the countless tragedies hat have been occurring, we must remember how many people are affected by these tragedies. Families and friends of these victims and of those who have been taken from us too son, have a piece of them taken away as their loved ones leave them. The grief that these people experience is unfathomable and unfortunately, there is not much we can do to make everything OK for them. Filling their hearts again after a loss may not be possible, but hopefully the list below will help make the process of being OK again, conceivable.

1. The memories you have with this person.

Your loved one may be gone, but the memories you cherish with this person will last forever. Whenever you are missing them, just think back to all of the amazing experiences and moments you have had with them and be grateful that you got to have those amazing times with them that will last forever in your head.

2. They still will always be with you.

When a loved one passes, you tend to experience eerie moments where you feel their presence or see something as a sign from them. This is not a coincidence, this is them letting you know that they are there watching over you.

3. Accepting that why they have left us cannot be explained.

Some people are taken from us way too soon and trying to wrap our minds around why they left us and why their life had to be cut short will only eat you up inside.

4. Remember the bond you shared with this person.

Love does not end with death. The bonds we share with people will stay forever even if they are no longer with us.

5. Know that you have gained an amazing and beautiful guardian angel.

On your toughest days when you break down and wish that the person you have lost was still there, they are watching over you just as upset as you are. When you pick yourself up and let yourself have a good day after a tragedy, they are smiling down on you with joy that you are finally happy again. No matter where you go in life, know that your passed loved one will be looking over you and following you on life's journey every step of the way.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
