Dear Rocky,

A letter to my dog

96
Dear Rocky,
Kelsey Hirsch

Rocky,

You have and will always be the light of my life. You will always be my emotional support system, my best friend. You have continued to be such a heartwarming part of my life throughout the years.

Rocky, Roco Taco, Rocket Man, for eleven whole years you have made my life a happier, more comfortable time. You were the best gift I could of ever received, and when my dad brought you home on December 18th 2009, I immediately fell in love.

You taught me what it meant to love someone or something as much as I loved you. You showed me what it felt like to be loved unconditionally. You were my shoulder to cry on. You were my best listener. You were my greatest companion.

You seemed to always find a way to get up and play. You always put your family first. You changed my life in the brightest and happiest of ways. You changed my family's dynamic and our overall compassion. You have saved me from my darkest thoughts with your loving energy. You made me excited to come home after a long day.

You truly made a difference with how I view my life and how I love others. I love you more than I can even start to describe and I always will. I love you and your one of a kind personality.

This is exactly why I already miss you terribly. I do not know if you know this, but you have made unbelievably large impact on my life. You have been one of the greatest blessings in my life, but you have been suffering for a while, and it is you time. You have been strong for so long; strong for me, strong for my family, strong for our other dogs. You have been strong, but it is finally time for you to have the ability to rest.

The cancer had become too advanced and I need you to understand how much you mean to me. I wanted more than anything to keep you here longer, but the would have been cruel at the point you were at. You need to rest; you do not need to feel pain. I will always remember you, and I will keep you within my heart. Loving you has been an unforgettable joy. Please rest easy. I love you.

Love,

Kelsey (KellE)

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.
