A Letter To My Sister On Her Graduation Day
Tia Amabile

Dear Sister,

You did it. You made it through college alive. Although these are said to be the "best four years of your life," I have no doubt in my mind that you will have a lifetime full of amazing years. I'm so proud of you, your accomplishments, and how you've always managed to do everything with a smile on your face and kindness in your heart.

You possess more heart than anyone I've ever known and I know that will take you far. New beginnings can be scary. The unknown intimidates us, but that's precisely what pushes you to grow. I've watched you grow as a person these past few years and you have blossomed into quite the young lady. Any company, man, dog, plant ... basically anything would be lucky to have you.

I know it can be hard to get over the feeling that everything is ending. Within these last few months, the word graduation has often been met by seniors with a cringe or a tear in their eye. You go from being in your favorite clubs and seeing familiar faces every day to relying on social media and FaceTime to stay in touch. But in those moments of sadness when you are mourning the "death" of your college career, just think back on how blessed you are to have had such wonderful things and people brought into your life that make you so sad to be without them. Memories are forever.

You've had your ups and you've had your downs. What amazes me is no matter what the situation, you handle it with maturity and grace. That's just what makes you ... you. If you're ever feeling lost, just remember that you have a whole family that adores you. We're your biggest supporters and will always be here to pick you up when you're feeling low.

No matter where life takes you. I've always got your back homie. Go make me proud(er than I already am)!

Love,

Your Biggest Fan

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.
