Until the day we can meet again...

To My Sister In Heaven
Tiffany Cariker

Dear "Little" Sis,

I had a dream about you last night. I was having a really hard day and things got bad again, I was so happy to see you. In the dream we met up, everything was white, I had never seen anything like it. You said you had to go away for a little bit. Why were you gone so long? Why did you stop coming to see me? Didn't you miss me too? You ignored me and tended to the life you were now enjoying. I wish I could have stayed there forever but I woke up, I tried to go back to sleep, trust me. When I woke up I realized why everything was white--we were in heaven, it was your new home and with a place as magical as heaven, I realized why you weren't coming by.

It's been three years. Everyone says "time heals all wounds," but does it? It's been a little over three years and each night I pray, I am still crying and telling him to take care of you, I am still asking him to tell you all my messages, and I am still wishing you'd send me signs. Time doesn't make it easier; it makes it harder, because with each day that passes and each new accomplishment I make, I am faced with reality that you aren't there to celebrate with me.

If I could go back in time I'd tell you I love you more, I'd take all those cheesy laptop pictures with filters, and I'd make more burnt grilled cheese. If only I had more time to do all the things I wanted to do with you. I would have held your hand longer and stayed in the hospital overnight with you, if only I had known this is would have happened.

I used to be very angry with God and ask him how he could do such a thing, but I'm not mad anymore. I now believe that he had already wrote your plan before I met you, before you were my sister, and before you became my best friend. The plan he wrote wasn't the one I had hoped for, but I am now accepting it, because I love you and loving you means letting you go where the pain isn't. He gave us you for 14 years and 14 years is better than not knowing you at all.

Thanks for being the sister I always asked for. You will forever live on in all of our hearts.

Until the day we meet again,

Your "Big" Sis

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.

Moana's Top 10 Life Tips

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
