A Letter To Family: Related And Unrelated

This is a letter to the family who has been there for me from day one of my life. To my parents, to my grandparents, to my aunts and uncles (the honorary ones too). I want to thank you all for watching my grow every day, helping me learn from my mistakes ranging from drawing on the walls to my first car accident. Thank you for showing me love and compassion even when I acted like someone you would rather not give love and compassion to. Thank you for always being there for me.

This is a letter to the family who grew up with me. To my brothers and sisters, to my cousins. Thank you for being around and growing up with me. Thank you for being my friends and foes all at the same time. Thank you for having fun with me, and also learning with me too. I know some of you more than others, but nonetheless we are all family and I thank you all for being around at all.

This is a letter to the friends I've known for so long they might as well be my family. Thank you to the people I've known as long as I've been alive because our parents were friends and we had no choice but to learn to get along. Thank you to the friends I met in school who have become an insanely huge part of my life today. Thank you to the new friends I've made more recently who are already becoming family to me. You all have helped me grow just as much as the people I'm blood related to, and I thank you for being around.

This is a letter for anyone I've been close to ever. Anyone who hurt me, anyone who I hurt, anyone who I just lost touch with because time changes things. I apologize for any pain I caused anyone, and any pain that has been caused to me has been forgiven, I have not held any grudges. I just want to thank you all for everything we all went through, even the bad times. Every memory has morphed me into who I became today and I thank you all for that.

Thank you to everyone who has entered my life, especially the people who are my family and the people I consider family. I love you all and wouldn't be who I am today without you. If you would also like to thank the people you love, please, pass this on. The people you love should know you love them.

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.
