A Farewell Letter To A Dead Landmark

You will be missed.

A Farewell Letter To A Dead Landmark
Google Maps

A couple of days ago, levittownnow.com announced the end to a local landmark dear to the surrounding resident's hearts. This house is next to the local Wawa and has been known by many as the never-ending yard. It housed an array of objects from various children's toys to larger objects such as a boat. It was a local landmark meaning that everyone who lived nearby knows exactly what you are talking about when you mention the yard sale house. Several days ago, most of the yard sale objects were cleaned up and are still being cleaned up. It seems like the days of that house's legacy is over. I happen to live near this house. I felt it would be best that I wrote a farewell letter to house's yard in an attempt to me any needed closure.


To the seemingly never-ending yard sale,

It seems your time has finally come. I can honestly say I will miss you immensely.

For years I would take walks and would see you. When I was younger and bored, I would come up with various stories as to how the yard became the way it did.

You helped out so many people when they were giving directions, both tourists and residents. Without you, take out drivers, repairmen, and ups drivers would not know how to get places. Although I cannot give directions to people by saying "the house with the junk or yard sale," I can still say "the place that used to be the yard sale house."

And although there are no things left for sale, you will not be forgotten.

Sincerely,

The girl that saw you everyday

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.
