To my second mom and best friend.

When Mom Doesn't Pick Up, Call An Aunt
Jenna Pizzi

Thank you for picking up when Mom doesn’t.

Thank you for being another person in my life that I can go to when I need someone to talk to. Whether it’s over school or boys or girl drama, you always know exactly what to say to help me through it.

You may not think so, but your advice has guided me to be the person I am today.

Thank you for always listening. You act as my rock when all else seems to be crumbling. I know that you will always be there to listen to me and to not judge me, but guide me.

Thank you for having great fashion sense. My outfits would be in serious trouble if I didn’t have you to tell me “what’s in” or when I have a better shirt to go with my pants.

I could not imagine not being able to walk in your closet and shop for clothes that I would want to borrow.

You are my second closet.

Thank you for being selfless. Watching you put other people before yourself has shown me how I can be more like you. More like a person who is filled with kindness and love.

Because that is the person who I want to be.

Thank you for being someone I look up to. When people tell me how similar we are, I smile at the fact that I remind them of someone who is as unique and as cherished as you.

Most of all, thank you for being you.

Someone that I can share secrets with. Someone who loves my surprise visits. Someone who more people should be like because the world could use more of your laughter and happiness in it.

I hope you never forget how important you are to me because, in the end, I will always need you, whether Mom picks up or not.

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.
