"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 miss walking into your house and going straight to give you a hug. I miss when we would make a princess dress out of glitter and glue. I miss going to your kitchen and getting a granola bar. I miss when we would have breakfast/ dinner together. I miss you being at my birthday parties. I miss watching family feud with you while doing crossword puzzles. You passed away some years ago. I visit your grave every year on the day you passed away and your birthday. I go with mom and we bring pretty flowers for you. We also clean your grave every chance we get. I am going to a fantastic school where by the time I graduate I can go into my dream job. I wish you could be here to witness how good I am doing. I get my license in 4 months. I love the people I am friends with. I get good grades. I always think that sometimes you’d be proud of me. Every time I think about doing something, I always say to myself “Would Grandma D approve of this?”. I hope I am making you proud up there. I cannot wait to see you again. Everything I do is for you. You were my whole world until you passed, and even then you still are. I wish you had a little more time down here. You used to make my whole day better. I miss how you would always lift up the coffee table and find something for us to do. I miss you so much. I love you.
