You're my best friend, even if I'm mad at you.

An Open Letter To My Older Sister
KC Welch

Big Sis,

I don't say it very often, but I appreciate you. I know I can be annoying sometimes, but that doesn't stop you from loving me. When I was younger and people told us that we would be best friends one day, I didn't believe them, but here we are.

I know we argue, but I also know there is no one that cares about me as much as you do. We've been through a lot together and I'm thankful just to have you around, because it would have been so much harder if I was an only child.

Thank you for making mistakes and showing me what not to do. Thank you for supporting me in everything I do, even if you don't think it's the best option for me. Thank you for telling me that high school kids are stupid when I came home after a bad day. Thank you for letting me wear your clothes all the time. Thank you for answering my phone calls even when you're busy. Thank you for letting me do everything you did- including guard and working at the same place as you. Thank you for buying me food. Thank you for driving me everywhere before I could drive and even occasionally now. Thank you for doing my makeup for prom and many other occasions. Thank you for just being you.

Some of my greatest memories involve you and I will cherish those forever. Remember when we went to Kansas City for a weekend? What about our dinner and a movie dates?

I love you so much and after looking back on these past 19 years, I don't know how I would have done it without you. You mean the world to me and I hope you know that.

You're my best friend and you will never understand how much that means to me.

Your Little Sister,

Bean

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.
