Hey Dad...This One Is For You
Madison Weaver

Dads–they truly are superheroes. No matter what situation I'm in or advice I need, my dad always knows the answer to everything–– literally. Our dads help us out everyday so much that we probably often forget to thank them for the little things. Your dad should receive gratitude if he has ever done these things...

1. Thanks for working so hard to support our family.

You truly have put in so many hours to support our family. You work constantly to make sure I have everything I could ever want in life, and I can never thank you enough for that.

2. Thanks for showing me the true definition of what being a husband means.

The love you have for Mom is incredible. You always go out of your way to tell and show her how much you love her. You set a good example of what all of us have to look forward to in the future. I now know to find someone who looks at me the way you look at Mom.

3. Thanks for finding a solution to all of my car problems...even when I don't give a good explanation of what is wrong.

You've heard me say, "My car..it's like making like this weird noise," too many times.

4. Thanks for supporting me in cheerleading, even though you'd probably rather me be a football player or something.

You never missed a competition even if it was hours away. You sat through the miserable cheer routines just to watch me. You spotted me in the front yard when I wanted to try a new skill and although I wasn't a football player you still always supported me.

5. Thanks for keeping up with what's "cool".

You know text messaging slang and the words to "Fireball", and really every other song 'cool' people listen to so yeah you're pretty cool too.

6. Thanks for always giving me money for the necessities–clothes, shoes, and Panera.

Because going to Panera at least 8 times a week is an essential to living a healthy life.

7. Thanks for saying yes when Mom says no.

I think I may have manipulated you a few times (-: Good thing you always have to love me.

8. Thanks for supporting my goals and dreams.

You have always been there every step of the way to cheer me on, and I'll never overlook your love and support.

So, Dad, here are just a few of the million thank you's I owe you. You're the best; don't ever forget it.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
