To My Older Brothers, Thanks For Always Having My Back
Marlee Nickow

Dear Bros,

Growing up, my friends always asked me If having brothers who were so much older than me was an annoyance or a pain. I would always say, "No...okay well maybe sometimes, but they are the best!"

Yes, living with so many boys who had control over everything was a tad annoying. I'm talking choosing the show to watch, getting our parents to drive them places, and getting the black computer over the white (haha if you know you know). I remember trying to practice reading and you guys would run in an interrupt so many times. I would yell, which only made you do it more. It was truly a fun game!

I was in first grade when you guys first went off to college, so I did not even live with you for that long. Soon enough, I was choosing the shows to watch. I got the rides. I even got the bathroom that I once shared with three boys all to myself. Amazing. While having a clean bathroom and a quieter house was nice, I did at times miss the chaos that would go down.

Now that we are all out of the house, I can honestly say that I wish we got to spend more time living tougher. As we have grown up, the age gap has not seemed as prominent. I never believed mom when she would tell me that we would all get closer as we got older, but that is 100% true. The six years that we all lived under the same roof were the most fun and loud times.

Thank you for always having my back and being there for me, and know that I will always be there for you.

You guys are my best friends, and I know that will never change. You will always be my older brothers and I will always be your younger sister, but one thing that is for sure is that the age gap will never tear us apart.

I love you,

Love, your much younger and favorite sister

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.
