Mom, You're Pretty Amazing...

You don't hear it enough from me so here it is.

Mom, You're Pretty Amazing...
Sam Racketa

By the time you read this it will be a eight days after Mother's Day. Sorry about that, mom. You know me though. I always wait until the last minute to do something. Okay maybe not always. That's your other daughter. Anyways!

Happy late Mother's Day. The debut album of Harry Styles' album is playing in the background as I write this and I am informing you of that because it made me realize how you never judge me for talking the way I do about the bands and musicians that I love. You just let me rant. Thank you for that. I also can't wait to make you sit down and listen to each and every song of this album.

Moving on... I never tell you enough how much I love you. Sure we say it every night before we part ways and go to our respective beds, but I don't believe I put enough meaning behind it. I know you think dad is my absolute favorite parent, but I love you both equally. I know you understand that, but I still feel as if I need to tell you that. Just like I connect on a certain level with him, I connect on one with you as well. It's just in a different way. For instance, we both agree on how certain people act, we complain to each other about work and other things, so I believe we connect in a way that we know how to be one another's ear when listening to the other complain.

You get annoyed by me quite a bit when I'm always yelling for you to come look at something or to do me a "solid", but you love me all the same. Thank you for always seeing what I want even though I know you roll your eyes every time you hear me call for you.

I don't think you understand how much I appreciate your presence and your love. I only get one mother and I am glad that mother is you because you are pretty amazing. I am lucky to have you as my mom and I will never take that for granted. Thank you for all that you do for me.

Especially the time you took me to my first concert or when you tell dad to be quiet when he's annoying the crap out of me and I just want to snap at him. Which I usually do anyways, but it's nice to know you have my back against him...sometimes.

Also, I know I don't show emotion that much, but I do admire you. I admire that for one you get up every morning to go to work by seven in the morning. I can barely wake up at eleven so congratulations on being able to do that. I also admire that you are able to be at work all day and still come home and do things. You know my butt would be in bed napping as soon as I step through the door. Actually, I already do that now after only working a four hour shift. I also admire your relationship with dad because even when he jokes around with you and you get extremely irritated, you still love him. You guys know when enough is enough and even when you don't you both still don't get mad enough to say hurtful things like many other couples do. Lastly, I admire you just as you are. Please never change even though you may think I want you to when I say my stupid insults when I am angry or annoyed.

I love you, mom. Thank you for being the best mother in this world, cliche saying I know, but it's the truth! Thank you for being one of a kind and please always remember that I love you to infinity and beyond.

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.
