A Letter To A Faraway Sister

A heartfelt goodbye letter to a sister that moved halfway across the country.

Well. By the time you read this, you will be all unpacked and hopefully on the hunt for a job somewhere out in Denver.

I cannot believe that you actually did it. I had no doubt that you meant what you said 100%, but I just cannot believe that you are halfway across the continent. It will always be hard to fathom for me. A person that I have grown up with for 16 years of my life is officially gone. Now, I will only see you once or twice a year.

We have fought for most of our lives, but that does not change the way that we will forever feel about each other. We still love each other. This love is unconditional. This love can never be broken.

When we were younger, we would always fight over who would ride in the back seat for long car trips. You would usually win because you pulled the seniority card. Now that I look back on those moments, you pulled that car A LOT on both Zachary and I. These car rides always turned into the most memorable adventures ever. Stop and read signs along the highways. Stop and take a picture with the welcome sign of a new state. Stick our hands out and lunge forward to try and outreach the other before screaming "BEAVER" as we cross each state line. These memories will forever be some of my favorites.

The times we spent in a car, just the two of us, was always interesting as well. Sneaking out to Chipotle together and vowing to never tell Mom about it always brought the most fun. The best thing about these car rides together was when "Hey Soul Sister" by Train came on the radio. We would always blast it and sing along. That was our song and it always will be.

I remember when I was younger, I always wanted to hang out in your room. You had a room to yourself and was always playing music and playing with toys. It was like a dream come true to be able to hang out with you. I would always come in and play with your dolls just so I could hang out with you in your room. Zach and I would always be in your room because we both looked up to you.

You were alway there for us. In everything that we did, you were there to support us. Without your support, I do not know what I would have been able to accomplish. You are amazing sister, Rosalie, and I know for a fact that Zach and I will never forget that.

Stay strong. Be yourself.

Denver is ready for you, and you are ready for Denver.

You got this Sis.

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.
