From his love to his mom

7 Things I Hope My BF's Mom Knows
unknown

Those of us who are lucky enough to have snagged the loves of our lives know this; they wouldnā€™t be here without their parents. Not just because of the physical aspect that none of us want to think about, but because their parents, however involved, gave them experiences that shaped them into the humans, the men and women they are today. I personally know that there are a few things I would like to say to my boyfriendā€™s mom, in particular. Iā€™d like to believe that these are fairly universal to most couples.

1. You were not perfect.

No parent is. You tried your hardest and let me tell you, it paid off. I am sure there are things that I donā€™t know about his childhood or you but I know that the product of his childhood, however screw-y, is beautiful. So good work.

2. You were brilliant

To raise someone as smart and thoughtful as your son means you were brilliant, just as brilliant as he is. You were brilliant enough to keep him on the right track, though I am sure he rebelled. You were smart enough to raise him right, and for that, I am grateful.

3. You were a saint

He has his moments of butt-hole-ness, like anyone. But I know he must of caused you some trouble; you mustā€™ve been a saint to deal with an attitude like his. Can you teach me? *laugh*

4. You loved him

I see it in your eyes every time we surprise visit you. I saw it in your eyes when he moved away. I see it every time you say good bye again. You love him unconditionally, which is more than I can say for some mothers.

5. You taught him well

You taught him to open my door and take out the trash. You taught him to talk and walk and laugh and smile. You taught him how to be a human and how to be gentleman. You did well.

6. You made him into a man

You made him into a fine young man that takes care of me and loves me with his entire being. You showed him how to love and how to be loved. You showed him what love and what to do when you have it: hold on for dear life.

7. He loves you

I know it doesnā€™t always feel like it. I know he doesnā€™t always say it. I know he doesnā€™t always show it, but it is true. He loves you just as fiercely as he loves me. He misses you, too. A mother is a boy's first love, after all.


So, overall, thank you. Thank you for being a great mother and raising a beautiful, intelligent, caring, perfect son. Thank you for letting me into your family, and thank you for loving me like a daughter.

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.

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.
