"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 miss you so much every day I have you in the back of my mind always thinking of you. I remember when I was told about your death like it was yesterday. I have lived with you for most of my life, and you always livened up everything. When I was told you were going into a nursing home it broke me, and it felt like I had no one when I was told I knew that it was getting worse. even though you weren’t there every day when I saw you you still made me smile and laugh. You were my best friend and the one person I trusted the most. Your taking care of me most of my life made me be close to you, and I never knew how much you did for me. when I found out all that you did for me and my family I appreciated you more than you would have ever known and that I showed. I didn’t show you how much I cared before and how much you meant to me but you were someone that I loved with everything I had. I knew that your health was getting worse and it just made me want to help you even more and I tried my best. You were an amazing grandmother, wife, and mother you did everything you could for anyone around you and never said no even when those people would say no to you. You were a great person and everyone thought the same you gave so much love and cared for people like I would never believe. You saw me at every low and were still there for me through it all no matter how bad it was. you always worried about me, and there wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t worry about you. You were everything to me, and so strong and took care of me for most of my life with no complaints, and always tried your best. I loved helping you and being there for you no matter what you went through. You still are everything to me and there will not be a day that goes by that you won’t cross my mind.
