Dear Summer...

From your biggest fan.

Dear Summer...
Kayla Garrison

Dear Summer,

Thanks for all the memories, all the late nights, all the friendships made, and for the time to get back to myself. Sometimes I think God created the you just to give us that deep breath we need. After a long day its nice to come home and the sun still be lit high in the sky at 8 p.m. and be able to sit on my porch and watch as another day fades away. Thank you for giving me those few extra daylight hours. Thank you for the friendships made. Summer gives us a little more free time to and the warm weather calls for more activities to do with our friends. But most of all thank you sweet sweet summertime for giving me a little extra time to get back to myself.

1. Extra Daylight

The extra daylight you give me allows me for more time with my family and friends. The family get-togethers last longer, the talks deeper and the days become more meaningful when you have a little extra sunshine. Cookouts can last longer, conversations go later into the night and most of all, kids have more playtime. That is certainly one of my favorite childhood memories.

2. Memories

Memories are my favorite part of you. Thank you for the memories with my family on the lake, the days spent rocking on the front porch watching the sun go down, the nights spent with my lover and with my friends. Memories are what I hold tightest to.

3. Friendships

The friendships made during summer are the part of summer that lasts throughout the year. Thanks for your lasting impression.

4. Relaxation

Relaxation of summer time is what most of us look forward to all year round. Relaxing with our loved ones on our yearly trip to the beach and coming back to reality for a while. It is truly the best.

Sincerely,

Your biggest fan

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.
