Thank you for being my sister.

To My Long Distance Best Friend
Maryann Robles

Dear my Long Distance Best Friend,

First I would like to say thank you for being not only my best friend but my sister. You moved right next door to me when we were little girls and continued sticking by my side no matter what. We did everything together, playing with barbie dolls all night, to planning out our future together.

You were my neighbor for over 12 years until your dad got a Job in Del Rio, 7 hours away. I remember the day you texted me that you were moving, and i couldn't believe it. You were supposed to leave once school ended but ended up staying for the summer to be in my Quinceñera. I never got to say a proper goodbye to you the day you left but you sent me a message on Facebook talking about our friendship and how you will always be my best friend. To be honest I had my doubts, that our friendship would last. Instead the distance made us closer than ever.

From miles away you were still there for me, a better friend to me than I am and was. I couldn't ask for anyone else to have by my side, besides you, my partner in crime. After you moved my life got tough without you. In the process you've helped me put myself together and look at the bright side of things. Even if it was hard because i didn't have my best friend to run to and cry about it with. You have never judged me for my mistakes, or the things i have done, but have helped overcome and learn from them. Unfortunately I feel like I'm not doing the same for you. So i want to say I am sorry for not being there when you really need me, for not holding up my end of our friendship, for putting others before you, and for being selfish. You have been there since day 1, and will be there until the end. I don't know any other way to say thank you for doing everything you have done for me and not backing out when things got too complicated.

You always used complain to me how I have given you so much such as sugar from my house to materialistic gifts, and that you have never gotten me anything. You're completely wrong, you gave me the best thing I could have asked for, you gave me not only your own friendship but 4 short years ago you gave me 2 new best friends. To this day all 4 of us are have become more like sisters.

Now to include the other two, you guys are my best friends. Even if we are a year apart, all live in different cities, and will soon have your own lives, you will never stop being my sisters. I will never stop loving you all. Yes I know this might sound cheesy but it's true. You guys have been there for me since my freshman year of high school up to now my freshman year of college. I have seen the three of you grown up to be strong, amazing women about to graduate high school and go off to college. In 4 years we all have been through thick and thin, dealing with boys, school, bitches who don't know how to mind their own business, and our crazy mothers. We've managed to survive that through distance, thanks to Whatsapp messenger.

Ever since we were little we always talked about about to college together at NYU, well obviously that didn't work out since we are both still in Texas, so we're going to have to settle for the next best thing, me transferring to your university. I have had to live without you 5 years and now that I have the opportunity to be by your side. I have to take it. Because Without you, my long distance best friend I would be a lost, hopeless, train-wreck. You are my rock and my soul mate, and I will forever love you no matter what.

-Sincerely your Long Distance Best Friend.

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.
