An Open Letter to My Grampy Who I Lost Too Soon...
Myself

Dear Grampy,

It's been 3 long years since I lost one of my favorite people. 3 years of holidays having to celebrate without you but wishing It was just all a dream and that I would get one more Easter and Christmas mornings breakfast with you. I wish I could have one more phone call with you just to talk about anything. I wish I could have had one more day with you. I miss you more and more everyday Grampy and I know that you have been looking down on me everyday for the past 3 years and given me strength when I truly needed it. I know you have been front row cheering me on at every performance I have done over the past 3 years. It's still so hard to believe that you aren't here anymore. I wish you could be here to see how much I've accomplished in the past 3 years...... I had a great relationship with a great guy (You truly would have loved him as much as I did.. He loved the big game of Hockey as much as you did, Gramps. and he was a gentlemen. I wish you could have met him), I graduated high school in the top half of my class, I started to college to pursue my dream career of becoming a Special Education teacher and I wish you could see all that my not so little brother has accomplished like he did it, he got into prep school and it has changed his life for the better, he plays his 3 favorite sports there, He is already thinking about where he wants to go off to college which is crazy, and he has truly become a great young man and you would be so beyond proud of him. You would be proud of your other three Granddaughter as well..The oldest has gotten to travel to Europe and she got her license. And the younger two have grown up in wonderful young girls as well.

And you would be so beyond proud of the two young men that you brought into this world. They are both so strong and loving. You truly have two amazing sons here.

Thank you for looking down on me and guiding me through life, Grampy. I hope I can continue to make you smile and proud for the rest of my life. I miss you everyday and seeing your smile, hearing your voice, seeing you in the audience and just everything. You will always be with me in my heart even if you can't be here physically. I love you Grampy.... forever and always. Keep watching us live and play the "Big Game". Rest In Peace.

Love,

Your Grand-daughter

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
