An Open Letter To My Little Brother
Haley Kleimola

To my Younger Brother,

You are wiser then you know. The way that you think over everything you do, just so you make the right decision.

Being a man of God, really inspires me to be to better every single day. I hope I find a husband that is as wise and as loving as you.

You can always make me feel better, always making me laugh whenever I need a pick me up. I am blessed beyond words to have a brother like you, and you are my best friend.

I know that I can come to you with anything, because I know your friends won't care to hear all about my life so I know you wouldn't tell them.

Ever sense you were little, I've always thought you did the things you did and wore the things you wore just because you wanted to be "cool." But now that I think about the past, Lots of people act the same way. Just because we are so worried about what others think. I acted as if I was apart of this world, and not a light unto the world. You have taught me to act as a light in this dark world.

As more things are starting to happen sometimes I think,

What if you weren't my little brother?

What if I didn't ever have someone trying to beat me to the front seat?

What if I never had anyone to wrestle on the floor with?

What if I was the youngest, and I didn't have a little brother?

All of these questions all wind up with the same conclusion.

If I didn't have you, I wouldn't be who I am today.

I am so grateful for all of your encouragement, your love, your sass, and your humor. You bring light to my days, even when I chase you around the house in order to get a good selfie with you. (Which usually doesn't work.)

I am thankful for you, and I am thankful that you are my brother.

Sincerely,

Your annoying, emotional, and stubborn older sister who loves you so much.

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.

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.
