"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 have a feeling you know what this letter is about. I can’t tell you how sorry I am that I never wrote you when I promised that I would. Has it really been 12 years? I can honestly say that not writing you when I promised has turned into my biggest regret ever. Remember when we used to write to each other when we were both in boot camp (east coast to west coast)? That was fun!

I want you to know how much I miss you. I think about you daily and feel that you are there when our song comes on. I picture us in the car singing along to it like we used to with the windows down and being our goofy selves.

I often see you in my dreams and almost always wake up in tears because you never speak to me. My only guess is that it is because you are waiting to speak to me when we see each other in heaven.

I hope this letter finds you well and PROMISE to continue to “write” you letters when you are on my mind.
