I Miss You The Most On My Happy Days

Beautiful days remind me of your beautiful soul.

I Miss You The Most On My Happy Days
Alexandra Hale

When you left this world, I simply didn't know what to do.

I knew you were in a better place, and I knew you were no longer hurting, but that didn't make my heart feel any less empty. That didn't numb the pain that seemed endless and unstoppable. You were the first thing I thought about in the morning, and the last thing that went through my mind before bed. Throughout the day, memories of you flooded my brain.

Time has inevitably passed, and I still miss you always. I've learned that time doesn't necessarily heal wounds - we just become stronger and better at dealing with them. The hole in my heart will never be filled, but I've learned how to operate with a missing piece.

I still miss you always, but there are days when I miss you more. It's not when I'm sad or angry, although I miss you then as well. I miss you the most on my happy days, because beautiful days remind me of your beautiful soul.

When I'm feeling on top of the world, I want to share this joy with you. I want to call you to tell you about my exciting accomplishment at work. I want to update you on the latest guy who's caught my interest. I want to show you my new clothes from the mall, because you always had the best style. I want you to read my research paper that I worked extremely hard on, because I valued your opinion more than anything.

When I'm laughing with our friends, I want to hear your laughter, too. When I'm sitting by the fire at home, I want you next to me roasting a marshmallow. When I successfully cook something, I want you to tell me you're proud of me, considering you were always a much better chef. When our favorite songs come on the radio, I want you riding shotgun in my car, practically screaming the lyrics with me.

When I get engaged, I'll wish you were there to hug me afterward. When I walk down the aisle, I'll look to the altar and know you would have been my maid of honor. When I deliver my first baby, there will be one "Aunt" missing - because even though we weren't related by blood, I always considered you my sister. When I'm 70 years old, sitting on my front porch, I'll look at the rocking chair next to me and wish you were there.

While I miss you dearly when I'm happy, this emotion reminds me that your spirit remains on Earth. It allows me to cling to your memory, even though I can't make any new memories with you. I find comfort in missing you, because it keeps you close to my heart. I'm reminded that while I can't see you, I know you never truly left. When I miss you more than anything, I know I'm blessed to have known you.

I miss you the most on my happy days, but that's also when I feel your presence the strongest.

I miss you the most on my happy days, but I know you're with me, because you wouldn't miss those moments for the world.

I miss you the most on my happy days, but I know you're smiling at my accomplishments.

I miss you the most on my happy days, but I know you're proud of me.

I will never stop missing you, love, but I know you're always with me. I wish I could hear you still, but I know you're always listening. I miss you the most on my happy days, but I hope those days never end, because they will always remind me of you.

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.
