Tuesdays With Mommom

My amazing grandma.

Tuesdays With Mommom
Lauren O'Halloran

It’s time to write an article about my biggest supporter, my grandma. Since I was just a little kid she has seen the potential and talent that even some of my teachers failed to recognize. Mommom’s favorite story about me is from when I was in kindergarten and I got to read a book that I wrote to my principal. To this day my grandma believes I should be a writer and although she cant access this article or any of my other ones, I know she would be happy that I’m writing regularly.

Mommom is by far the kindest woman I have ever gotten the pleasure to meet. She treats everyone like family and being Italian, she absolutely loves to cook and feed people. In fact, before she got sick, she would come over every single Tuesday after school and cook us a delicious meal. My brothers and I would take turns choosing what it would be for the next week. From turkey to corned/roast beef to sausage to meatballs, Mommom would make anything.

During these special Tuesdays we would talk about a lot of things but mostly religion. Mommom happily took up the difficult task of teaching my two younger brothers religion. From a very young age I learned to associate religion and church with the best woman I knew. I always thought everyone in the Catholic church was kind and generous like Mommom but unfortunately I learned that going to church doesn't necessarily make you a good person.

Mommom has always been concerned with my grades and education. As a child I loved sharing my high grades with her and my grandfather, who would give me a dollar or two every time I got a 100%.

I am so blessed and grateful to have had such an incredible grandma. Mommom has played a huge role in who I am today along with my views and values. I appreciate everything she has done for me and I will never forget her infinite kindness. The love she has for her family and friends is unbelievable. I hope that one day I can be half she is.

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.
