To My Sister For Life

Someone who is my sister without proof on the dotted line.

To My Sister For Life
Erin Marx

Dear Soul sister,

I am going to start this off by saying thank you. Thank you for everything you have do for me. For all the fun adventures we have had and those times when we would be driving to the beach, home from high school, or driving around doing random things and singing Taylor swift at the top of our lungs.

Those endless nights of staying up late giggling about random things, and talking about things that girls only talk about. How we know each others crushes, and giggled about how they looked at us once more than the usual zero times. How we would do each other's makeup and experiment with different makeup looks that we found on the internet because we were getting ready for prom.

Those times when we would have those heart to heart talks and only talk about girly things. How we always had each others back when it came to a loss at a field hockey game, when we had a grade that we were not to happy with, and each others shoulder to cry on. One memory that I remember was when I was failing chemistry our junior year, and a break up on top of it, and we were heading to field hockey practice and I just broke down. I remember crying and crying and you were right there for me and said just calm down and drink some water.

Then, shortly after we were laughing about something and you made me forget why I cried. We survived the elementary school struggles of the playground, and getting to the swings first and playing dodge ball with the guys and being able to kick the ball out of the park. We used to play jump rope and sing those rhymes to see who would be our future husband, when "Cinderella was dressed in yellow, went upstairs to kiss her fellow, how many kisses did she get?"

Fast forward five years and we walked through the halls of middle school. Where we went to our first school dance, when we had our own locker and we thought that was the coolest thing. When we went back to school shopping the number one school supply item was a locker mirror. After we survived middle school we entered the biggest uncharted hallways of all:high school.

We made it through freshmen year which entailed a few dates we went on, a few heartbreaks and our first high school football game. Then we made it through sophomore year when we had boyfriends at the same time, we discovered what makeup was and actually wore it a few times during the weeks and we couldn't wait to graduate. Junior year was of course well junior year when we were almost there and almost the top but still not seniority.

Then, before we knew it we were seniors. Our last year of WMHS Field hockey, our last pep rally, our last musical. Senior year also, of course, included PROM! taking you with me to find my prom dress was so important to me because I had to share that memory with you. Before we knew it we were getting in the limo and we had the time of our lives! Then we got out of the limo and right into cap and gown. When we tossed our caps in the air we were finally done. 12 years gone like that. Now we are in different states going to college and not within 5 minutes of each others house, but more like 4 hours. I can not believe how fast time has flown but no matter what, we are friends forever.


Sincerely,

Your Best Friend

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.

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.
