An Open Letter To My Too Far Away Friends

To my ladies that I left 3 years ago...

An Open Letter To My Too Far Away Friends
Colleen Staudenmaier

I have to start with saying thank you. When I started this journey to Colorado I never realized just how much I would miss all of you. On days when I’m sitting in my room wanting something to do I think back to all of you and the immediate response when I ask to go on an adventure and you appease me on my trip to the store, or to get food, or to just ride around to amuse me. I always look for the friends that will be willing to do the same thing but unfortunately not everyone else understands my need for random bits of love like you all do and have for so many years.

I love that now I get to come home and for some reason it is like I haven’t even left. We get together and talk and eat candy while having a movie night and it is like we haven’t all moved in different directions. We tell stories about our lives and talk drama about what is still going on at home, but we are all just as close.

I can’t wait to continue our friendship into our future, even if I will probably be moving around a lot more than all of you, just know that there is always a place for you in my house. You helped me when I was young when I needed to get all of the difficult times and now we are becoming adults, thinking about marriage and kids (well at least all of you) and getting our own houses. I can’t imagine my future without all of you in it.

Always remember that I love you and miss you and can’t wait to see you again.

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.
