An Open Letter to my Old Best Friend
Erin Reid

Hey, how's it going? I haven't talked to you in forever. I hope all is well with you and your family. Tell your mom and dad hi for me. I see them on Facebook from time to time. Your mom actually poked me the other day! I can't drive around our old neighborhood without thinking about all the stupid things we used to do like neighborhood hide and seek. On foot we thought we had some good hiding spots, but when I drive around I found some pretty great spots. No one would have ever found us!

I'm not sure why we lost contact or what happened to our friendship. Maybe it was because I moved off to a different college than you. Or was it because I started to get serious with my boyfriend and you felt like I didn't have time for you? I know it probably doesn't matter now, but I would have never put someone in front of our friendship. Yes, my now fiancé is my world, but our friendship was supposed to last forever. We were inseparable. when my fiancé and I first started dating he knew that you were my best friend and no one would come between us, and he understood and respected that. You were my day one, my ride or die. Heck, we used to ride around everywhere and almost die! We had some great times when we were younger didn't we? Just know that no matter what, I will always cherish all of the memories we made. I always see something that reminds me of you and all the great times we had.

I miss texting you as soon I wake up to see what kind of trouble we were going to get into that day. Remember that time we were running around the neighborhood and my neighbor put up no trespassing signs around his yard? Or that time we watched my neighbors get into a fight and his girlfriend or whatever she was got a sledgehammer and went to town on his truck and later got arrested? We always figured out something to do no matter what kind of day it was.

I don't know what you're doing anymore or what you're majoring in even, but no matter what just know that I'm in the back cheering you on. I hope you're living your dreams and having fun and doing you. You will always be special to me and hold a special place in my heart. We may not talk now, but I hope that some day in the future our paths will cross again and we catch up. I work all the time, but I'm always down to go eat and catch up sometime. My number is the same if you want to hit me up. I love you and you will always be one of the best friends I have ever had. Thanks for being there for me through our school days. You helped me out so much more than you'll ever know.

You're old best friend, with love

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.
