An Open Thank You Letter To Walt Disney
Jonathan Tony

Dear Mr. Disney,

I do not think you know how much your hard work truly paid off. So many things have been accomplished since you have been gone. You started an amazing company that truly is magical.

I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for never giving up your dream, no matter how many times you failed. Through all the debt and bankruptcy, your vision never once changed. You still believed that one day, you will make it. You made it possible to believe in anything, to keep being a dreamer. The dreams you dreamt came true. It may have taken a lot for those dreams to become a reality, but they did.

Thank you for making it possible to do the impossible. You never once gave up and I look up to you for that. You did the impossible. You had multiple people tell you that you would fail and that it was a silly dream that will never become a reality. They didn't believe in your dream but that didn't stop you from trying. It is hard to have people you love not believe in your dreams, but you stuck with it no matter what they said. You kept your head high wanting to prove yourself to them. You definitely showed all of those people.

Thank you for making an amazing company that I have learned to grow to love every day. I cannot begin to tell you how much different life would be if Walt Disney Company was never a thing. There wouldn't be much happiness or magic in the world. When I watch a Disney movie, it is full of inspiration and magic that makes me want to dream the wildest dream. Every time I walk into a Disney park, my breath is truly taken away. When people says it's the most magical place on earth, they are NOT lying. It's like no place I have ever been before. You forget about reality and you are the happiest you have ever been. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love that place. You have made these parks feel like home to millions of people. You have made trillions happy. I cannot thank you enough for that. You have made my childhood never ending. You have made it possible to keep trying no matter how many times one may fail.

Thank you for making it possible to achieve our dreams.

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.
