To My Sister That I'm Leaving Behind

I miss you every day.

To My Sister That I'm Leaving Behind
Verge Campus

To my sister, we hated each other and we fought all the time over things that weren't important enough to remember. I was mean to you. I knocked your tooth out and convinced you that there were monsters to be found in the dark. You blamed me for burning cookies, farts, and any other embarrassing thing you could think of. That was when we were kids. Now you're 18 and I'm 20 and you're my best friend. Not in the cheesy or cliché way, but in the real way. We send each other funny pictures and we make fun of each other and support each other. I regret being mean to you and I'm sorry for that.

I am, however, happy that we're so close now; the timing seems unfair, though. When we were kids and had no one but each other, we fought. And now that I'm away to school and on my way to having my own family and my own life and you're getting there too, we just started to need each other more than ever.

You're so smart and beautiful and I'm so proud of you. I'm glad that you're happy and I feel better leaving knowing that you can make it on your own. I'll always be the first to protect you, if you need it or not. I know you'll always do the same for me, you always have.

I know that you're not alone here; you've still got our parents and you've found yourself a good man, but that doesn't stop me from worrying about you when I'm gone. I know you don't need taking care of anymore, but I can't help but think that you'll always need me, if only a little bit.

Remember that no matter how old that you and I get, I'll always be your goofy, nerdy older sister and you'll always be my sweet, funny baby sister. Thank you for always being there for me and for always putting up with me. I'm so lucky to have had someone to care for and force my unsolicited advice upon. There's no sister in the world luckier than me.

I wanted to tell you that as we create our own lives-- in my case, one far from home-- that I'm going to miss you so much and that you'll always be my best friend, whether I'm just away at school or writing books in South Carolina. I'm lucky to have you as my sister and I promise to not let us grow apart. I'll call you more and make you come up to see me and vice versa. I'll still miss you every day and I won't let our relationship disintegrate into short, dull conversations and awkward visits. That's just not us. I will always hope that if I have a set of daughters that they'll be lucky enough to care about each other as much as we do. You're the best sister and friend I could ask for and I love you very much. I always will.

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.
