THANK YOU.

A Letter To My Favorite Place
Martha Donnelly's Photo

It's been two years since I have been able to walk the roads that take to me to some of my favorite buildings on the camp grounds. I haven't been to the Chalet, the Adirondack Room, the ropes course, or the dining hall in two whole years.

Thinking back on it now these buildings hold some of my favorite memories that I have had in eighteen years of living. These memories hold such a special place in my heart because it was during these moments that I was the happiest. As I step foot on these camp grounds I have the biggest smile and the fullest heart because I am finally at my second home again.

Thank you for providing me with happiness even if it was only for a weekend. The happiest days of my life have been spent at Double H because i've been able to meet some amazing people who care about me and make my life a better place because they are in it.

Thank you for showing me how volunteering can change someone's life. The volunteers I have met here have made my life so much better and made me want to volunteer which I am doing this weekend and are the reason I come back to this place every year that I can. They are so incredible and all have a different story to tell that inspires so many people without even knowing it. I am so lucky to call so many of my friends who I can not talk to for months but as we are back at this beautiful place we are able to catch up and it is like no time has passed at all.

Thank you to the staff at Double H for letting organizations like Cindy's Comfort Camp and many others use your facilities for weekend activities. You are some of the most amazing people who give so much to many people and it is so wonderful so once again thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you to the children that I will meet this weekend, have met in the past and will meet in the future because you are the reason I come back every year. You all have such beautiful souls and make my life and many others lives so much brighter because you are in them.

Thank you lastly to god for putting this beautiful place in my life because it has made it so much better since it came into my life in 2010. It's my favorite place in the whole wide world that helps me forget about all my worries and just have a blast for the time that I am there. I am forever grateful to have come across this beautiful place.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.
