"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I miss you so much. I still think about you constantly. It is coming up on the mark of 7 years since you have passed. I still miss you as much today as I did 7 years ago. You had a real lasting impact on my life. I always told myself I wanted to be like you when I grew old. I miss seeing you and your smile. I loved going with Grandma to visit you. I loved how you let us play in the reclining chair and drink all of your raspberry sparkling water. I loved getting to say hi to everyone. I am so sorry that we have not visited recently to your resting place. I loved releasing notes and balloons up to you. I know that you still got them, even if they did get stuck on the electrical wires a few too many times. I loved when you got to come to the holidays at our houses. I miss seeing you especially those days. I am so glad that we still have a piece to remember you by and include you in all of these wonderful days. You will never be forgotten to our family. You will always have a place in my heart. Being one of the first people I loved who has died, you have had a lasting impact that will never fade. I hope I am making you proud down here. I can’t wait until I can see you again and meet the rest of our amazing family up there. I love you forever.
