You have taught me more than you know.

To The Sisters We Grow With And Who Grow Us
Randi Gonzalez

To My Sisters:

I just wanted to tell you both how much I love you. As the youngest of us, I have learned most of who I am by watching you both. For my entire life, I have had a front-row seat to of your accomplishments and failures. It has given me the opportunity to learn from your mistakes before I make my own. It's a true sacrifice you never knew you were making. There is nothing I am more grateful in my life for than the fact that I was able to grow up with you two.

Sometimes we sit together and compare ourselves to sisters in movies and TV shows (OK, mostly "Despicable Me") but our relationship is something someone would describe as... indescribable.

As we all get older the time we get to spend together seems to shorten but I know that is only a symptom of being adults. Luckily, I took mental notes growing up and know that having you two as sisters gave me the life lessons to be able to survive in the "real world."

I have learned to be courageous and confident. Sometimes we have to do things that we really, REALLY don't want to do. I've watched you both "fake it till you make it" and pass it off without anyone giving it a second thought. You taught me that confidence will get you to the finish line, whether it was genuine or not so much.

By watching you two, I was taught how to laugh at myself. This is one of the most valuable things I learned how to do. We are not the most graceful bunch around so being able to laugh off our embarrassing moments has been a blessing.

You have taught me everything from sharing to embracing my talents.

There is no one else footsteps I would have wanted to follow in because even if our paths stray, I know that it will never be for long.

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.
