"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 remember when I was little and you were there sitting on the couch with you arms wide open leaning down to me. Then I would run up to you as fast as I could and give you a great big hug. I remember seeing you in the hospital bed and you just were there laying with your eyes closed. They all said that you could here us so I said to you, “Hi, grandpa I hope you feel better.” In a very soft shy voice. That night my aunt drove me home and my parents stayed till when you left us. You left your family and my dad misses you and I do too. I wrote a song for you. i bet you heard me write it too. But we all keep going and we get through it but you are always in our hearts.
