An Open Letter To My Older Sister

Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.

An Open Letter To My Older Sister
Tori Jean Hatfield

Sisters are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

I can vividly remember the times we shared together as kids. From chasing each other around the house ready to kill each other to building snowmen together, there was never a dull moment. As the younger sister, I have had the opportunity to watch you. I have watched you play, grow, love,and most importantly mature into an amazing woman.

As siblings, we are bound to have arguments. However, we always come out bigger and better in these situations. As silly as this sounds, thank you for arguing with me. Thank you for stating your opinion on certain situations while also listening to mine. I have learned to respect your opinion and take both perspectives into account. Thank you for always loving me despite our silly arguments.

I have had the opportunity to watch you take situations as they come, and make the absolute best of them. I have watched you suffer, and I have also watched you absolutely rise out of those situations and come out on top. I have watched you turn into an absolutely wonderful, God-fearing, mother. I have watched you raise your kids with love and patience, and to me that makes you nothing short of amazing.

From you, I have learned I must stay on my toes. You always have something new and exciting planned. You have always been very outgoing, and I am completely the opposite. Thank you for showing me how to speak up for myself, and thank you for doing that for me when I was unable to. Thank you for sticking up for me. You take up for me no matter the situation, even sometimes when it's probably not needed, but I love you for that. Thank you for teaching me to be honest. You have taught me to state your opinion, but do it with a good heart.

I am forever grateful God blessed me with a sister like you.

I hope we will have the oppurtunity to make thousands of more memories. I love you Kelsie Cole and I am so very proud of the amazing lady you have become!

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.
