"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 am writing this letter to let you know how much my family and I still miss you. We think about you every day and we still love you very much. We will always remember you for your amazing qualities. Like how you were the kindest person we knew. You always tried to help others, and you always gave me the best advice. You were always there for us when we needed you and we will forever be grateful for that. I think that we were there for you too. The night you passed away at the hospital we were all there. We were told that you’d be ok but sadly that was not the case. Once we heard the code blue we were all in great shock. Once the doctor told us the news we all cried, though we cried we knew you were in a better place. After your passing, it took some time to get used to not being with us at family events. Despite you not being there in person we know you were watching over us. This may sound silly, but I believe you were at the Reds game with us. I think this because a cardinal flew into the seat right beside us and the next play we caught a homerun ball. This meant a lot to us because we knew how much you loved the Reds. I am so thankful for what you gave me in life. You taught me kindness, politeness, and many more. Not only did you teach me many things but you were always a great friend. I love you so so much and I know you are in peace.
