Rest Easy, Old Friend

It's hard to forget someone that gave you so much to remember.

Rest Easy, Old Friend
Roberta Pivoriute

About 55 million people die every day. Every single day, someone loses a person. You never think about it until you lose someone close to you. And most days, when you see an RIP post on facebook, you can justify it as "this is sad, but we weren't that close." You never think that maybe one day you'll be losing someone you love as well. And it never hits you until it actually hits you.

Thinking about losing someone has always been a fairly foreign thought to me. I never lost someone so close to me. So the day I found out you were gone, I screamed "NO" (I really did, my boyfriend can attest to it.). Honestly, I thought it was some kind of cruel joke when I heard the news.

How could such a good person suddenly not exist anymore? When I was in high school you were one of those people I could count on to put a smile on my face. You were the one that made me laugh until I cried. And you were also the one that made feel uncomfortable (often) with your sexual innuendos. It's okay though... They made me laugh as well. From what I have seen on Facebook so far, you were like that for many other people. You were a silly comedian to a lot of us, and we will never forget that.

I know we lost touch at some point, and I know that I haven't you seen in a while. That is something I regret the most, but despite not talking to you in a long time, I always wished the best for you. And whenever I thought of you, I had nothing but positive thoughts and memories. Thinking that you were in some kind of pain is unbelievable given your personality, but then I think that maybe the saddest people make others happy instead of making themselves happy. So I will put you in the same categories as all the other legends (Robin Williams, Kurt Kobain, etc.)

I guess you can never know what kind of demons a person could be dealing with internally, but you didn't deserve them. Thank you for being my sunshine on rainy days.

So my friend, you will forever be in heart with your silly personality. Rest easy.

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.
