A Letter To My "Baby" Brothers

Because I know I don't tell you this enough.

A Letter To My "Baby" Brothers
Cierra

To My Little Brothers,

Let me start by saying I'm so proud of the young men you're both becoming. You're both growing up so fast and every time you guys call me and tell me what you're doing in school I can't help but think that you're both getting so big and smart. I wish I would've been half as amazing as you guys are when I was your age.

I want to thank both of you for being my best friends. We argue and disagree about some things, but at the end of the day I know that I can trust you both with my life and that means more to me than any argument. Siblings fight and argue, but I don't personally know too many that can forgive and forget as quick as we do.

I want to thank you for all the memories you've given me. From frosting cookies at Christmas time to going to the lake and swimming for hours every summer, I want you to know that I remember all of our times together. I remember bringing my girlfriend home for the first time and you guys gushing over her and making sure you guys knew she was right for me.

I want to also thank you for being there for me when grandma died. I came to see you guys after it happened and you both hugged me and we cried together. We lost a big part of our lives that day and I wasn't expecting to break down as much as I did, but you boys held me together like glue and made sure I knew that I was going to be okay even if I didn't feel like it at the time.

Speaking of grandma, thank you both for keeping her spirit alive and talking to me about her every time I see you. Thank you for telling me stories and memories you have with her. It makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one that still misses her like crazy.

Thank you for always making me laugh. You know how to make me double over and laugh so hard that it feels like I just did a bunch of ab workouts. Between our inside jokes and just random stuff we do, you always know how to make me laugh so hard that I cry.

Now I want to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry I don't see you both as often as I used to, but I promise once I graduate school I'll come visit more often. I love the weekends that you guys come up and stay the night with me. We always have so much fun playing games, going to the park, and watching movies. I think we could lay on the floor and just stare at the ceiling and have a good time. Thank you for all the good times.

Thank you for all the support you've given me over the years. Whenever I tell you both I want to do something, you constantly push me to achieve my goals. You may not realize it, but you boys inspire me to keep going and pushing to be the woman I want to be. I know that you look up to me and I want to be the best big sister that I can possibly be.

Lastly, I want to say that I love you. I love every little thing about you. Every flaw, every day, no matter what I love you. I love you both more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for everything, boys.

Love, Your Big Sister

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

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.
