An Open Letter To My Father-- From a Daughter Who Is Way Too Blessed
Personal Image

To my loving father,

I honestly do not even know where to start, other than by saying I am so incredibly blessed to be your daughter.

There are so many things that I see in myself, that I know I picked from you. For one, you are so motivated in everything that you do. You set your mind to something, and no matter how crazy the idea may be, you somehow find a way to do it. For instance, you had a dream house-- and you built it-- all on your own. Everything that I decide that I want to do, I complete, thanks to you. And for that, I am blessed.

You have given me everything I've ever wanted, my entire world. Not materialistically, but in other ways. You have pushed me to achieve every dream I've ever had, telling me nothing is too insane to shoot for. You have never stopped encouraging me, whether it was from the sidelines at every cringe-worthy sports game, in the audience at a performance, or at the kitchen table reading my newest piece of work. You have given me everything, and for that, I am blessed.

You make life so much fun. I know I am probably not the most joyful person to be around all the time, but you always greet me every day with the biggest smile on your face, a smile that makes anyone grin right back. You have so much love for everything in life, and you want to share every great moment with the people you love. And for that, I am blessed.

You enjoy the most out of the smallest things in life. You appreciate every sun that sets over the lake, and watch them from the deck. You appreciate every early morning workout, and still seize the day after. You appreciate every bowl of peanut butter and chocolate ice cream. These little moments are what make your personality so great, and for that, I am blessed.

I could go on and on talking about how lucky I am to be your daughter. And every daughter would probably say the same about their father. But every single time you look at me and tell me how much I remind you of yourself, it reassures me of how great of a person I am, and how wonderful of a job you did raising me.

And for that, I am blessed.

Love you endlessly,

Your daughter.

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.
