"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 know that I don’t remember a lot about you, but I feel like I know everything about you. I can’t remember time with you and I wish I could, but I do remember your voice. It’s better than nothing I guess. I am so sorry that you suffered for so long and I wish you had never got cancer. I see how it affected the rest of us and how it still impacts us today. It’s not fair that you were taken away like that. Just talking to my dad about you is always one of the highlights of my day. My dad doesn’t like to talk about you a lot, but when he does it always makes him smile and I think it helps him. I wish that you could have been around a lot longer to watch me grow up. Don’t worry I am still carrying on the Notre Dame tradition and supporting them. We miss you so much and love you!
