Losing A Pet - A Letter To Lilo

Dear Lilo,

Losing A Pet - A Letter To Lilo
Alexandra Donoso

They say time heals all wounds, but I say it simply lessens the pain because it is only getting us closer to each other.

Today, It has been a year since you left this world, and our love is still the same. They say time flies, and right now it just seems like time is dragging us all to where we hope we all see each other again.

Memories are inevitable because they are the only thing that is immortal -- everything else is fragile and most certainly, temporary. But memories are also bittersweet, because if we are holding on to them, it probably means that in some way, we faced loss.

Loss, hearing that word makes me shiver. It is loss what most of us are afraid of; but then again, we all face it. We fear to open the floodgates of sadness, so we hold on tight to our happy thoughts, hoping that we never lose them in the way. But mostly it is loss and sadness that teaches us about the worth of things, the worth of life.

As humans, we feel pain when we lose our loved ones, some may think it is an exaggeration when we say that the loss of a pet feels the same way, but how similar it is because losing you has been of the hardest lessons I ever had to learn.

And even though I can’t do anything to change the fact hat you are not here, I promise you I will never let our memories die, because as long as I live you will live, inside my heart. I will keep showering myself with the immortality of those memories that constantly make smile.

When the time is right, I will step out of the darkness, and meet you in the light. Meanwhile, my love for you will stay intact, and I won’t give up on that. There is no day in my life that I don’t think about you, my little guardian angel.

What are you doing today in heaven? Send me a shooting star.

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.
