A Letter To My Little Brother

I'm glad I was blessed to enough to have you as my sibling.

A Letter To My Little Brother
Cheyenne Pauls

We may fight, we may bicker, we may even ignore each other for a few days but I am terribly thankful you are in my life. I know I haven’t also been so nice but that doesn’t matter when I still have your back when it comes to important things. I know I didn’t always want to hang with you but now your older and don’t want to hang with me, oh how the tables have turned.

I’m glad I have you, cause I mean if I didn’t who would I have crazy stories with that even best friends can’t compete with? Times when we were home alone and playing video games, defending against zombies and screaming bloody murder and scaring the neighbors. The family walked up and they were concerned to what all the racket was. That was priceless!

If I didn’t have you who would’ve leveled out my girliness with cool things like Hot Wheels and playing cars and dinosaurs. Those days were the best and I miss them. But now we can play real cars, with racing video games and get competitive enough to beat each other because goodness knows only you can make me competitive.

And what about that time when we were shovelling snow and one of us had the bright idea to bring a wheelbarrow through the house? Who’s idea could’ve that been? But being able to share those ridiculous moments where you know the parents won’t be happy but you do it anyway because it is a great idea at the time. I mean come on, that was an awesome idea, just like the idea of having our own “Survival Games” and losing half our stuff in the middle of the woods. That was beautiful.

Another thing, we have each other's backs. We went through that tattle faze and we may tattle to be jerks but for the most part we don’t rat on each other. Not even for the petty staying up later than you should or even eating where we aren’t supposed to. Even when we gang up on the parents to tease them and be the butts we are.

I know we fight, and wow we arguing and have petty arguments often of goofy things like the front seat of the car or who gets the downstairs tv but even if we fight we can still makeup and have good times. Or when we know we're out of line we make up easily like the one time you knocked my glasses off. That was a doozy, but I’m glad we just laughed about it. If we didn’t fight we wouldn’t be siblings but the good thing is that it doesn’t stick. Even when I throw my cup at you when you scare me.

Boy are you good at scaring me, though my heart nearly jumps from my chest it’s always fun to have that war of who can scare who. You’re better than me, and it’s just absolutely frustrating. Especially when I’m up playing video games in the middle of the night with the lights off.

And most of all. I have found I am ridiculously proud of you. I am proud of who you are and how insanely talented you are with everything you do. From sports, to music, to even computer game editing and on top of all that you are still humble and a good person. You have your flaws, but so do I. We’re different people but we are brother and sister, we will always look after each other.

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.
