Nana ,

It has now been about a month since you passed on into the next life. Boy has life changed in one short month. Your grandson, Austin, turned 16 he can now get his permit which is crazy. Grace, your granddaughter, made the High school soccer team.

It is so weird to think that you aren't here anymore to hear about all of these accomplishments going on within our family. When I was little I saw you every single day, and now I will never see you again. When I think about this for a long period of time it makes me sad, but then I look up and you always show me a sign that you are there in some way. On the day of your funeral, which happened to be Austin's birthday, you gave us the sign that everything would be okay when you shined the sunlight on him because you knew it was his birthday.

Parkinson's ruined your body, but your mind was somewhat intact until the very end of your journey here on Earth. The last time I saw you was truthfully hard because you couldn't remember who I was and it made me sad, but I knew deep down that you knew in your heart that I was your eldest grandchild. The type of Parkinson's that you had was the worst we were told. It affected more than your body. It affected your mind and mimicked Alzheimer disease.

Nana, even though you are gone, you will never leave me. You will always be my guardian angel. Thank you for the times that I spent with you. My favorite memories will always be singing. God bless America with you.

I love you forever,

Maggie your eldest

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.
