Thank You To My Better Half

Thank you for being you.

Thank You To My Better Half
Candace Jones

I met you two years ago. I looked at your big blue eyes and instantly knew I was going to be with you, I just didn't know when. I went through that year appreciating your friendship more than anything in the world. You were kind, generous, and patient. I can't even fathom the thought of how patient you were with me. Everyone else thought you should've given up on me, but you didn't. You stuck it out — told them, "No, she's the one."

I'm not the type of person to rush into things. I like taking my time, even if it's painful.

I knew we both needed to grow more as people — as independent individuals. Not that we're completely mature at the moment but better than we were a year and a half ago.

Now, you're still patient. You're still generous. You're still kind. You have hope in our future together. I'm glad to say that I do, too.

No matter how many times my stubborn head gets in the way, you seem to find a hole to get to my senses and fix everything. There are times when we bump heads. Eventually, we figure it out. It's not perfect, but I wouldn't want to do it with anybody else.

I've never laughed so hard in my entire laugh as when I'm with you. I laugh so hard that air comes out of my mouth and I can't breathe for a few seconds — it's the best moment in the world. It's pure bliss with you. I've never cried so hard in my life, but only when I'm with you, because you've made me so vulnerable. I trust you so much with my life that I put you on my insurance.

I'm not the most perfect person in the world, but I believe we're gonna make a great team someday. This was just a little thank you for being a part of my life. I couldn't imagine doing this life with anyone else but you, Antigone.

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.
