A Letter To My Parents, The Two People Who Inspire Me Everyday

Mom and Dad, Since I don't say it enough, thank you for all that you do...

.....Would be a cliche way to start to express the amount of love I have for both of you. Actually, I do express how much I love and appreciate both of you regularly and I want to tell you why I do this.

I wouldn't have become who I am today without the both of you. Thank you for instilling core values in me and teaching me right from wrong. I may not have always been so grateful for this growing up, but I am now.

Thank you, for standing by my side. It is no secret that I was a little diva growing up, so thank you for having patience and loving me through it all.

Thank you, for inspiring me every day with how hard both of you work. I hope to one day be as successful and passionate as the both of you. I feel so blessed that I have two parents that are complete opposites but, come together to form a union. A union that has given both, my brother and I balance and structure to build a future with.

Thank you for allowing me to make my own decisions growing up and letting me express my personality. I am confident in who I am today because I had parents who allowed me to be me, every step of the way. Thank you for reminding me that only God can judge me and to always be myself.

Thank you for spoiling me and giving me the world, but also teaching me the importance of hard work and the value of a dollar.

Thank you for supporting my dreams and helping me achieve them, even when my dreams change every month. Thank you, for always making me feel important and loved.

Thank you for always being there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on, which was a lot. Thank you, for teaching me how to take deep breathes when I am anxious and how to appreciate the good in life, because there is so much of it.

Thank you, for understanding everything about me, more than I understand about myself. Thank you, for making me strong and passing down your big hearts to me.

Thank you, for making home a place I want to be and somewhere full of love.

I will forever be grateful for the both of you, and this is why I tell you I love you, every day.

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.
