"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. These pass 11 years have been rough without you. My mom got remarried in 2011 and she happy now. She tells us that she was unhappy with you because you would point out her insecurities which I believe. I hope you learned to love people for who they are up in heaven. The mistakes you made in the past are not forgotten but your still my dad and I miss you so much. I think how my life would be different if you were still here. Our lives changed a lot Kayla has her own house which you thought wouldn’t never happen and she has a job at amazon which I am so proud of her for accomplishing to graduate high school and get a good job and a good house. Hanna is 16 years old and is pretty happy she made the high school soccer team 3 years in a row and that’s a huge accomplishment. Heather is 12 years old and she does soccer and diving for her school which I’m glad she is trying something new. Then I am 15 years old and found and interest in band and I am doing marching band and I play the Trumpet. So our lives have changed a lot since you have passed away but in a good way because I probably wouldn’t be going to such a great school if you were in our lives and I probably wont be in Band wither but you dieing was a turning point in my life which made me sad for 2 years but I realized my life have just gotten better without you here no offense.
