A Letter To My Beautiful Mother (Family Series Pt.2)
Casey Hitzges

Dear Mom,

Words can’t express how much I love you. You’re the woman that gave birth to me, but you’re so much more than that. You’re the woman I look up to, in good times and in bad. Your marriage with Dad and the way you handled Colin’s accident with such grace is proof of that. You’re the woman I hope I can become. You’re a phenomenal teacher, administrator, and coworker. You brighten every child’s life, just by being who you are. I can only hope to be that teacher for someone someday. You are an amazing mother, regardless of the mistakes you’ve made. You love us with all your heart and I can’t wait for your future grandchildren to meet you and see how great you are. You are steadfast in your faith. You and Dad have raised your children to go to church and love the Lord with everything we have. You are supportive. As Colin and I have grown up, you’ve allowed us to be ourselves in everything that we do. You’ve been a supportive band mom, drama mom, and even an academic bowl mom for years. You give of yourself day in and day out, and that’s definitely something that needs to be recognized.

All of this goes to say, I love you. As I grow older, I hope to become a friend to you; someone you will always be able to turn to for a laugh, a shoulder to cry on, or even a ride in the convertible while we jam out to Pitbull and have an ice cream cone when you’ve had a rough day. You amaze me every day by being the mother you are. There’s not a second that goes by that I don’t thank God for the wonderful woman he put in my life to raise me. I’m so glad that someone invented the phone. I don’t know where I’d be right now if it weren’t for your phone calls and texts to cheer me on, give me advice, or even tell me you love me. College is hard, but having a cool mom to talk to about your problems makes it 100 times better. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being my supporter. Thank you for being my enforcer. Thank you for being my friend. I am the person I am today because of the woman and mother you are.

I love you, Ma.

Your (Favorite) Child

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.
