She Will Love You Still
self

We lost you three years, eleven months, and three days ago. I am currently three months and twenty-eight days away from the arrival of my daughter. I could choke on the tears that well up inside me when I try to believe you've been gone for almost four years. You've been blessed with so many grand babies that you never got to meet and even your sweet grandson James that God took home way too early. You may not have been here to meet any of them but I'm faithful that you have been watching over all of us since you left. As I begin to prepare for the arrival of our sweet baby girl I think about how much more I want you here, not only for my sake but for hers as well. I know she would love you to pieces just like my sisters and I do. It melts my heart already when Kylie talks about you and how "Papa Spakes is in Heaven". She never met you but she loves you so much and I promise you this, I will tell my daughter all about you. As she grows up she will hear about all of our days together, from simple times like trips to the gas station for slushies and slim jims after school to sitting beside you so many time in a deer stand doing what we loved. I'll tell her how you always had my back no matter what the circumstances were. When she grows up and wants to play ball I'll tell her all about how you always came to my games to cheer me on and I'll promise her that you now have the best seat in the stadium. Life without you is hard and I realize how selfish my thoughts have been since God took you away from us. I constantly thought about myself and how losing you effected me little did I know that a little more than four years down the road I'd be praying that she would have been able to meet you. I always thought about how it effected me, how awful it felt to not have you around for senior prom, graduation, college graduation, my wedding day etc. My thoughts never crossed how unfair it was that my daughter wouldn't get to meet you. My heartbreaks for that, however because of that I promise to always do everything I can to assure her that you love her, and you are always near. She is blessed with amazing grandparents from my side as well as her fathers side but she would have loved you just as much and it will never make missing you easier. So today I ask you this, please continue to watch over all your grand babies including my sweet little girl, and don't forget to watch over your little girls too. Lastly I promise you that my daughter will know you even though she never met you and she will love you unlike any other kind of love you can imagine. Please give me the guidance I'll need to show her the love you always showed for us and help me assure her that I'll always protect her. You may be gone and she may not be her yet but I promise I'll tell her all about you. Rest in Paradise Daddy, We love you.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
