"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

It’s been about a year or two since you’ve been gone…Everyone misses you. So do I…but i wish i could’ve given more love to you. The day you left the school director came and took my phone, ii thought nothing of it at the time. i thought you’d out live the doctors predictions and survive once again. Later that day when I got my phone and got home i found out the news. I didn’t cry, i didn’t talk, i was shocked of course but it didn’t hit me as hard as it hit daddy, or our sisters.I don’t know if my lack of emotion towards you was because i never got to get to know the real you. I wish i could’ve because now your gone and i won’t ever get too. It hurts me now that your gone, i never got to know my big brother but i know your watching over me now. I love you and i’m sorry….
