Thank you for bringing endless smiles and laughter to my beautiful sister. Thank you for giving my family memories that will truly last us a lifetime.

Thank you for bringing a light back to her eyes.

I can't thank you enough for everything your organization has done for my family, especially my sister.

This past year has been extremely rough on her, from hospitalizations to surgeries. It's a lot for a person to go through, let alone a kid.

She has persevered through the worst of it. To have this trip to Disney was the absolute best for her in every way possible.

Disney and Universal Studios went above and beyond in making sure she felt special. They let her go in Fastpass lanes and even to the front of lines on certain attractions.

Characters at the park treated her just like a princess, taking as many pictures as she wanted and spending time talking to her.

We stayed at Give Kids The World Village and every volunteer there was so unbelievably kind. Give Kids The World is all about the families not having to lift a finger, and they made sure of that with us.

There was so much love and happiness that poured out of that place, it automatically made Gracie carefree and excited.

It was more than just a wish granted; it was one of her dreams that came true. I can't put into words how much this experience has meant to my little sister.

This was everything she wanted, and more.

Thank you for making my sister forget about all of her problems. Thank you for making her realize that she can truly be happy.

Thank you so much.

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.
