"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

Its Bradyn. Even though we didn’t really see each other much, I still miss you. I can’t brag about having 3 great, great grandmothers anymore. Uncle Chris and Boppa really miss you. Especially Boppa because he was your son. I know that you would want us to be happy. After all, you were the type with a free spirit. You would want us to be happy, not because its over, but because it happened. Aiden and Taylor were in shambles at the Funeral Home. And I hope that you are happy being Cremated. And Buried next to your parents. It really would’ve been nice to see you for one last Summer. Maybe just one more lunch would’ve satisfied me. You also gave me an opportunity to see some distant family, so I guess I should thank you for that. Its crazy to me that you were doing just fine. and on the 25th of October, you finally got to meet God at the Gates of Heaven. The priest had some really great stories that I think that you would have loved to hear. In the card I got from the Funeral home, you looked so happy in your picture. Also, at the funeral home I didn’t cry much, but while writing this, my emotions are really starting to show. I was so focused on the world around me that I failed to realize what was right in front of me. I’m sorry that we didn’t get to talk more. And I’m even more sorry I wasn’t there for you in your final moments. I hope you rest well Monner.
