to the dad who picked up the pieces

My Father like almost every other person on the planet is my hero. I look up to my Father because he is an unbelievably strong person, wise beyond his years, and he was always there to pick up the pieces. My dad is unbelievably strong because he had to deal with my mother for years. My parents are divorced, and have been since I was a young adolescent. My mother is a person that I gave copious chances to and let me down every single time. The one person that would always be there for me when my mother let me down was my father. He was there after every time she yelled at me. Every time she made me cry over god knows what. Every time she would break my heart, my father would be there. My father is one of the strongest people I know because he has had to deal with tragic events and still looks at the positive in life. He has been through so much therefore he gives the greatest advice. After my mother would pull one of her typical moves. My father would wipe the tears off of my cheeks and sit me down to give me honest to goodness advice. The advice would entail him saying "you are stronger than you think you are. Honey, you can't cry and let her get to you because than she wins. Than you lose and are hurt yet again." I would take this advice in, I would grow each time, and I would become stronger with every breakdown/ advice session. My father would be there every single time my mother would have a freak out at me whether catastrophic or minimal. He would be there wiping the tears off of my face, to soothe

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.

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.
