"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

First, I would like you to know that I am taking Resistant Materials (woodwork and metalwork) for my GCSE subjects. Also that I have achieved a level 8 and ” best in the year” title for woodwork last term. I am not trying to boast, I know that is something that you would never do. You are a good person, and my greatest wish is to be like you. If it were not for you, I would not be anywhere near where I am now. I would a be a stranger with a shadow of the life I have today. So I thank you for that.
The badge is my most prized possession and I will treasure it forever. I trusted you when you told me that it would bring me luck, and you were right. But more than that, you were annother part that came with the badge. You gave me the strength to belive, to carry on; and even when I hid it so well, you could see right through me.
Now that you are gone, I think that perhaps part of the luck and strength went with you. It was not your fault, but now that you are no longer here, those who are remain are slightly broken in a way that I don’t think will ever mend entirely.

I hope that, where-ever you are, you are happy. We will always miss you and there will always be a special part of our heats that will beat for you and you alone. You did good in this world and I hope that for everything you did you are contented. You deserve at least that.
Your stength, determination and neverending love was something that I have always admired, and I admire still.

If you are with God where-ever you are, please pray for Mum and Grandma. Out of everyone, I think that your absence has affected them the most. I don’t want them to struggle anymore. Though I know that you are probably not meant to ask things of God, or the dead, and I’m not. Just to watch over, and love.

Goodbye and farewell
