To My Younger Sisters, I'm Lucky To Have You As My Built-In Best Friends
Lauren Trimble

My sisters are the absolute best. As I've gotten older, I've realized just how lucky I am to have these "built-in" best friends. I love being the oldest and acting as a mentor and friend to both of them.

We really help one another. As I start college in less than a month, I want my sisters to know that just because we'll be a little farther away from one another, the bond that we have won't ever change.

My sisters, I love you with all of my heart. I'm so proud of the people that you are, and all of your accomplishments. Like me, you're both going to be starting a new chapter soon; high school.

Try to enjoy all of your high school years because you'll blink and you'll be at your senior prom wondering how it all went by so fast. But, also remember that your life is just beginning after high school. It's, by no means, the be-all-end-all. Don't take what jealous people say to heart, and know that not everyone is going to have the same heart as you.

Be kind to everyone that you meet because you truly don't know what people are going through in their personal lives. Thank the people who go the extra mile to make your life easier. We often take them for granted.

Know that you are enough one million times over. And, you are loved beyond anything you can imagine. No one can ever take that away from you.

Lauren Trimble

Thank you both for teaching me what being a friend means. Some of my favorite moments are spent with us talking about everything, and nothing at all. I'm looking forward to all of us getting closer in the coming years. Thank you for challenging me to be a better person.

Whenever I'm faced with difficult choices, I try to make the one that I know would make you proud. Because, honestly, I look up to you both just as much as you look up to me.

Most importantly, thank you for letting me be your big sister. Out of all of the things that I'm proud of, being your sister is up at the top of the list.

I love you endlessly.

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.

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.
