14 Things I'm Thankful For
Deanna, Content Creator

Holiday season is upon us and I would just like to take the time to express what I am thankful for.

1. My mother

I wouldn't be here with out her, literally. Words could never really show how thankful I truly am for everything you have done for me and everything you have taught me in life. I know you are in heaven smiling down and are so proud of me. I love you to the moon and back.

2. My father

I have learned so many things from you that nobody else could ever teach me. I value our relationship way more than you probably know. I enjoy our conversations and you always letting me vent about anything and everything. I love you and am so grateful for you.

3. My Grandma

She's always been my best friend even when we don't agree. She has been my rock for almost the past 4 years after I lost my mom and I could never re pay her for all that she has helped me with.

4. My boyfriend

Oh how thankful I am to have someone as wonderful as you in my life. You always do your absolute best to keep a smile on my face. I'm so beyond thankful for your endless love. Forever and always.

5. My siblings

Even though we don't always see things the same way or agree with all situations, they are still my siblings. I will always love them the same. Nothing could ever change that. I'm blessed to have such funny, good looking and caring siblings.

6. My nephew

Oh boy does that little one bring such joy and happiness to my life. He is such a ham and I just love him dearly. I find such amazement in watching him grow up. I love you little man!

7. My Aunt Virginia

She is truly one of a kind. Forever telling me how much she loves me even when I don't love myself. She sees nothing that I do to be wrong. She may be a handful sometimes, but I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world. I love her so much.

8. My Godmother

You could probably never understand how much our conversations mean't to me. You also probably could never understand what you truly mean't to me. I can't thank you enough for always helping me and pushing me to keep going. Thank you for being my go to when mommy died. It killed me to loose both you and mommy within months. I know you are together in heaven and always watching down. I know how proud you are of me and I know how much you love me.

9. My fairy Godmothers

God works in ways I don't know, but what I do know is he put you both in my life for a reason. You have helped me become the person I am today and have always motivated me since the day we met. You were not just my teacher and we both knew it from the start. I love you both madly!

10. My stepmom

You didn't have to love me, you didn't have to always be there for me, but you do and you are. I know it wasn't easy sometimes and I can't express enough how much it all means to me or how it really makes me feel. You are an amazing, intelligent and sincere women and I thank you for always taking care of Daddy and the family. I love you!

11. My cousins Zoe and Madison

Growing up with you girls was like having two more little sisters. I would do absolutely anything in my power to make sure you are both content and happy. Thank you for adding so much laughter to my life and loving me always. I love you both so much more then you know.

12. My pets

They show so much love and affection. We sometimes take for granted how much our pets need us and love us. They are like my children and I would do anything for them. I love my fur babies!

13. Life

Life is not promised and I find that so many take life for granted. I am so grateful every day for the life I was handed even though it has not always been an easy road. I am truly content with every thing that I have and every thing that I do not have.

14. God

I am so thankful for God who loves me, guides me, protects me and is always there for me. I'm thankful for every single day you give me to live and continue to reach my goals. Thank you for loving me more than words could ever possibly describe.

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.
