Thank you for all the roles you have fulfilled.

An Open Letter To My Godmother
Hanna Hess

If many of you were as lucky as I was, you were given the blessing of having a godmother in your life.


To my godmother:

Thank you for every role you have fulfilled. You have been a mom, a friend, a confidant, an aunt, and a caregiver. You watched over me and protected me like I was your own. You opened your home to me at any point in time, even if it was a moments notice. You let me indulge in things I wasn't allowed to have unlimited amounts of at home. You even let me try soda for the first time!

You were a friend when I needed it most. You would go to movies with me, have me over and watch TV with me, go shopping with me, and so much more. You became a shoulder to cry on as I grew older and went through many life circumstances. You are someone I can always trust.

You know almost everything about me, as a mother would with their natural child. You can listen to someone so carefully and concerning.

We are family. We are not blood-related, but our bond is thicker. You have embraced me at my highs and lows, and for that I am eternally grateful. You are my mom's sister by bond, not blood. You are my family by love.

You always jumped right in when I needed to be taken care of or watched over. You have taken me on when I was sick, sad, happy, or mad. You know my favorite things, favorite shows, favorite hobbies, my likes and dislikes. You were always a phone call away when I needed something, and still are.

Thank you for helping my mom and dad raise me. So many memories are shared with you. You're loving, goofy, warm, open-hearted, and a softy. Thank you for being you, and for blessing me from the day I was born as my godmother. I only hope my future children have a godmother as cool as you.

Love,

Your (un)biological child

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.
