There Isn't A Day When I Don't Think About You

I know I'm the favorite, and always will be.

There Isn't A Day When I Don't Think About You

Dearest Mom-Mom,

It is coming up on three years since you have been gone, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about you. The love we share with each other is eternal, and I will value the memories we have for the rest of my life. I know you watch over me every day of my life, and I hope you are proud of the mature young woman I am becoming. The strong and determined personality and outlook on life that you expressed has embedded itself into me. Sometimes I think I smell you in the wind, and I smile because I know you are smiling with me. I feel the need to tell you all about my life, and how far I have come as such a well accomplished young adult, but it would be a waste of time because you are with me through all aspects of my life.

I remember the only way I could cope with your passing was by writing poetry. I sat down that night and wrote one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry I have ever created. The crazy thing is that I don't even remember writing the words on that page. You inspired me to write the most beautiful tribute to one of the most influential people in my life. The strength and courage you had also enabled me to recite this at your funeral. I know you were watching, and I stayed strong you both you and Pop-Pop because I know you would've wanted us all to be smiling. Smiling is a universal symbol for happiness, but your smile in my memory brings warmth and love. I miss your smile, your hugs, your scent, your laugh, your eyes, your stories, and most of all your presence. You will forever live on through this poem, as well as in all of our memories each and every day. I just wanted to make sure you know that I am always thinking about you, and I will forever love and cherish you.

Love Your Favorite Grandchild,

Sydney Rachel

Shirley's Smile

Scientifically speaking,

The sun rises due east,

But I believe it rises due west.

Fluorescent yellow petals yawning to embrace

The sun light through the window.

In the west this flower bore four impeccable

Seedlings, who then bore seedlings of their own.

This flower grew her roots, intertwined them,

And shared her beauty with all who deserved it.

Every piece of nature yearns to be like her, as

Beautiful, as strong, and as sincere.

But as we all know,

The sun does set,

Eventually.

The sun displays an array of sublime colors,

But it is a bitter beauty that all come to fall in love with.

And when the sun sets,

The florescent petals of the angelic flower do too.

The roots stay intertwined,

The love never disappears,

And the beauty is only a gracious memory.

She is gone,

But we remain,

Living proof of the angel once lived.

We have lost an angel,

But heaven has gained one.

And as the sun sets in the west,

Peace overcomes the flower and all who cherish her.

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.

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.
