"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

So it’s been almost two years now since you passed and i miss you so much and so does my dad. When i first got the news it was so unbelievable for some reason I just couldn’t believe it, I didn’t cry or freak mostly i was in shock. You were a big part of my life and my family’s. you were such an amazing person. I have this memory of us just sitting outside your house eating angel cake with praline ice cream that was such a good day i can never forget it. I think about you so much, i think about you especially at nights where my thoughts go crazy and it makes me tear up there is so many things i wish we could have done or i wish i could tell you now. You were like my second mom you took care of me and fed me and spoiled me you were my everything when i was little, you were the person i looked up to and one day hope i could be as good of a person as you. You were such a beautiful person inside and outside you were the one to cheer up people and give them a smile and tell them everything will be okay and give them hope. You had so much of an impact in people’s life, you were so caring and giving and you were the most beautiful person I have ever known in the inside. I used to be so angry at the world and i didn’t think it was fair for you to just go but you lived up to 99 so I know you had a good long life and now i’m not angry anymore because I believe there is a reason for it and i hope that one day i will see you. I just hope that right now your still with me watching over me and being proud of who I am.
