"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 almost 3 years since you left us. Which mean it’s been 3 years that you have felt much better and not in pain. I miss you, we all miss you. I love you too, I would do anything to spend one more night with you. I wish we could go back to when I was little when I’d stay the night and wake up really early to play with my polly pockets. I wish you could be here to see how great I’m doing in school, sports and just life in general. I miss having Thanksgiving and Christmas with you, it’s hard to be there without you there’s a lot of emotion. If you were here right now I can already imagine me standing up to you and joking around about how much taller I am than you now. When I get my license I want to come visit you a lot more. I’ll need to get the address to your grave from NaeNae, wow that’s hard to say I’d rather it be “I’ll have to get your address to your house”. I really miss you Mamaw, I’m sorry I wasn’t there to see you much before you left. I wasn’t told how bad you were getting. I can only remember the last time I saw you was when we were all at Aunt Angels, all 7 of us grandchildren, Aunt NaeNae, Aunt Angel, my dad and Papaw. I wish you the best up in heaven and one day I hope to see you again. I love you.
