To My Best Friend's Baby, If You're Anything Like Mom, You'll Be Extraordinarily Loved And Gifted From Day 1

Baby Lorenzo,

You're not here yet, but everyone is anticipating your arrival. Two more months and you'll grace the world with your presence. I've known your mom since we were nine years old. We met in safety patrol where we kept our elementary school streets safe every Monday... at least that's what we told ourselves to feel cool. As time went on, we grew closer and were friends from a distance, but it never changed anything once we were back together. I got to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, and now I'm about to be your Auntie.

If you're anything like your mom, you'll have an attitude. You'll be able to stand your ground; you'll be an incredibly strong person with solid values. You'll have your own style, maybe you will be the one that brings red and purple skinny jeans back in fashion. You'll find something you want to do and you'll do it, regardless of what other people think.

If you're anything like your mom, you'll have great taste in music. I'm sure you're going to grow up listening to Bad Suns, NSYNC and Paramore, whether you like it or not. You'll love concerts and you'll be your mom's new concert buddy. I'm okay with being replaced as long as it's you, of course. I'm sure your dad will appreciate it, too.

If you're anything like your mom, you'll be a hard worker. She always put in so much effort in school. She was always a grade ahead in math and now she's graduating college a year early. She was the first of my friends to get a job and never stopped working from there.

If you're anything like your dad, you'll be so smart. You'll find opportunities in your work and run with it. You'll be a family man. You'll get along well with everyone you meet and leave a positive, lasting impression. You'll set a great example for your kids to follow. You'll be so kind and you'll go out of your way to please people.

If y you're anything like your parents, you'll be an amazing person. You'll love your family and have many friends. You'll be a hard worker, a genius and maybe a little sassy. I hope you have a little afro like your mom and I hope you love your curls and complexion. I pray that you come to know that your family is so strong and full of love. I pray that you see how great your grandparents are; they raised the wonderful people that are raising you. I pray that you live a life filled with confidence and happiness. I hope you use everything you're taught to make the world a better place. Last, of all, I pray that you know how loved you are, even by people who are self-proclaimed Aunties.

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.
