An Open Letter To My Big
Kathleen

oday and tomorrow, forever we'll be big and little, my sister and me.

Last semester was such a whirlwind and full of stress, but I couldn't have been more thankful to have you there to face it with me. I know that we didn't get to spend a lot of time together, more than likely my fault, but I'm going to do my very best to make that change this semester. There's so many things I want to say to you that I haven't got the chance to yet and I couldn't think of a better way to say it than in a letter to you. So, here it goes.

To my Big,

There's quite a few things I have to say and we both know that I talk a lot so just bear with me here.

I absolutely fell in love with you the night of speed dating. I mean, we talked about cats and I got to pet your sweater. Total win. What wasn't to love? And you were so funny. I think I laughed talking to you more than I did anyone else. I didn't know you before that night but I'm forever grateful I met you.

You're such an amazing person and you have this huge heart. I mean, you just care so much about other people. If I was ever having a problem or an issue, you were always there. Even if it was late at night, I knew you'd be there. You stood in the parking lot with me when it was a tad cold, talking to me to help me figure out a situation I was dealing with. You deal with all my questions and occasional pestering. God bless you for putting up with me. But more than all of these things, you just radiate love and goodness. You give off a vibe of positive energy and it's literally impossible to be sad when I'm around you. I am so thankful for your light in my life.


You helped me brave my first college party but, in all honesty, it's the only party I've ever been too. That was a night that was filled with more adventures and laughs that I'll keep forever. I don't think that I'll ever see a chicken suit the same. Thank you for doing that night with me. It wouldn't have been fun without you.

I wore a onesie across the school campus the night of big/little reveal. I mean, I literally ran in the parking lot looking like a piece of candy because I was super excited to get to see who was popping out of that box to me. I knew I had a twin and I had a suspicion that it was you. But seeing you jump out of that box to me and to us was one of the greatest things I experienced last semester. Finding my home in Delta Gamma was amazing but finding a family with you was everything I didn't realize that I needed.

You believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. You encouraged me when I couldn't find encouragement anywhere else. We have a lot in common and we're a lot alike.We have the same love for Harry Potter, total score! You've introduced me to new things and I now have this ridiculous obsession with Hamilton. Darn icecream and wal-mart for showing me something so glorious. We share a love for cats and I adore watching your reactions to some of the things that happen in Grey's. My heart is happy. My heart is full.

I remember when I came extremely close to dropping Delta Gamma altogether, right before initiation. I was scared and nervous and afraid of so many things that were happening in my life and it all felt like too much. But there were things that happened during the initiation process that made me glad I stayed. Because, if I'm being honest, I don't know what I would do without you.

I love you so {Big} and I can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for choosing me. You're my person.

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.
