This past weekend the most famous music awards show of the year was held, The Grammy's. Some highlights of the show were Alicia Keys hosting, a performance by Dolly Parton along with some other powerful women, Lady Gaga winning for her title Shallow, and the tribute to Aretha Franklin.

An overall great show with some amazing winners, such as Childish Gambino who won two awards, one for record of the year and another for song of the year. Golden Hour took a home best album of the year and Dua Lipa won best new artist. Lady Gaga was awarded both Best Solo Pop Performance and Best Pop Duo with her partner Bradley Cooper.

To top off all of these highlights and well-deserved wins, the strong team of women that took the stage at the beginning of the night, stole the show. A powerful group including Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Jada Pinkett Smith, Lady Gaga, and Michelle Obama started the show off on an amazing note. All together these women discussed the power of music and the effects that it had on their lives growing up, no matter where they came from.

Michelle Obama stated that "Whether we like country or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves, our dignity and sorrows, our hopes and joys. It allows us to hear one another, to invite each other in," and her words were able to unite the audience from the start of the show.

This group of women who all came from different places and who were all able to use music in different ways to help them cope, and eventually led to their success truly relayed the message of why we have the Grammys and why we place such a high value on music in our society.

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.

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.
