An Open Letter To My Little Brother

Dear Little Brother,

Right now you are probably doing something to annoy me or plotting to do something to annoy me. That is just how things are. You know exactly how to get on every single nerve I have within me. Regardless of all the arguments we get into, I would not give you up for anything. You mean so much to me. You bring so much happiness into my life.

I was an only child for ten years begging Mom and Dad to make a sibling for me. It was lonely, and then one day I got the best news. I was finally going to have a sibling, a baby brother of my very own. Finally, after ten years of waiting and begging I got my brother. I still remember the day you were born and how happy I was to meet you. I was the very first person to hold you, and as I looked down at your sweet face, tears pooled in my eyes. That day changed my life forever.

I am not only your sister. I am your supporter, role model and protector too. We are always there for each other when we need it the most. When Mom and Dad just do not understand what is going on, I am there for you. I am your shoulder to cry on. We stick together. That is what siblings are for.

Someday you are going to get older and start maturing into an amazing young man. You are going to learn things and be tested. I will be there for you through all of it. Even though I cannot always be there for you physically, you can always reach out to me. I will give you advice. You are going to struggle. There will be bad days, and good days also. No matter what though, you can depend on me. When a girl is playing with your heart and you just cannot seem to figure out what to do, I will guide you. You are going to experience failure, but I will be there to let you know that you have to get back up and try again. You cannot let anything get you down. You are in control of your life. We were not raised to give up.

You are getting older every time I see you. Big changes are coming for you soon, but I know you can handle it. You are my little brother, no matter how old you get. Whenever you need me, I will be there. We may not always get along, but at the end of the day we are siblings, and siblings have to be there for one another.

I could have never asked for a more perfect brother. You always know how to make me laugh when I am down. I would not trade you for anything. You have lit up my life since 2007. I am so thankful for you. Do not ever forget how much I care about you.

Life is a journey. A lot of things can happen, but one thing you should always know is that I love you, and I am here for you.

Love,

Your Big Sister

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.
