When God takes our loved ones away.

Always on my mind, forever in my heart.

Unfortunately, sometimes tragedy happens in life and these tragedies will take us back. You can never be prepared enough for some of the trials life throws your way.

One of the curveballs life throws your way is the loss of a loved one. Whether the loss was unexpected or expected, it still hurts and is a very painful process to work through. Death is hard to grieve because you have to fully understand that the person you love is not coming back. Never let anyone push you to grieve faster than you need to. Grievance is a process that should not be pushed.

Know that you are not alone! There are people around you who are there to hold you up when you just can't hold yourself up. Know that is OK to lean on someone! You are not expected to grieve the loss of someone you loved so much alone. There is a loving God that will never leave you alone, no matter the situation. Find peace in the face of trials for you are never alone!

There is a God that walks beside us through these losses. My God is always here and always comforting through the good and the bad. At times, it can be hard not to question why God took our loved ones away. In this time, you have to understand that his plan is much bigger than ours.

Hard times will come, I wish I could say the opposite. Cherish the memories and know that they are looking down on you! Try to find peace in the hard times, and do not have a hard heart! For you are much stronger than you think, and God will hold your hand always

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.
