"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. Sister and I joined our father to celebrate his birthday with him and we saw your wife. We love her so much too, and when she talked about you, I could notice love in her eyes and I thought of you and I realized that I miss you so very much and I wish you were here.

Tomorrow, I’ll go to college. What can I say? I’m nervous, I’m excited, and I’m scared. But I want to think that I will finally find a school where I would be myself, that I’llegar find amazing friends, that I’ll continue getting really good grades, and that I’llegar feel happy at last.

I love you, Grandpa. I love you so very much.

P.S. Wish me luck! 🙂

You helped so many people (including me) through a lot of things. Linkin Park had a huge effect on my life, it helped me through bullying, through breakups, through my sexual assault, everything that was shit in my life didn’t feel like shit because I would put in headphones, listen to Hybrid Theory and forget the word existed. Thank you for helping so many people, I’m sorry we couldn’t help you.

Its been a while. Almost 3 years and it still feels like you just left. They said it was supposed to get easier to deal with, but its just gotten harder. When I first found out, I was in English, 4th period, room A104, and the whole world collapsed. Lizz texted me “wait Nicks dead?”. I was one of the last to find out. I felt so heartbroken, someone I was so close to left me and I didn’t know until the next morning. No wonder why you never responded to my texts. Sandra blames her mom, since she wouldn’t drive you home that night, and a part of me wants to blame her too. If she would have just driven you the ten minutes across town, you’d still be here. breathing and making everything feel okay again. Part of me blames you, why were you so stupid to be in the road? Why weren’t you paying attention. If you were over 5 feet on the sidewalk you never would have gotten hit. You would have still been here. I pass the spot almost everyday, and everyday I miss you a little more. I haven’t stopped though. I don’t know ... Read more

I have never got to know you, considering you were stillborn. But I really hope you’re doing okay up there. And I hope you have gotten to know gramps as well. I wonder how you looks like. Are you a boy or a girl? Would you follow after me if you were alive? Would you be very kind or really mean? But I wouldn’t be able to know you at all. Because you’re gone. It’s probably my fault about how you died. I still have you in my mind after all this time. I don’t remember much about the day you died. All I could remember was how mom started crying as well as auntie. I really wish I could has met you. May you rest in peace little sister or brother. <3

You passed away when I was only 3 years old, and I don’t remember you at all, but I can see how much our family loves and misses you which makes me love and miss you as well. I personally don’t know what I got from you, but everyone tells me that I act just like you and that’s kinda what makes me feel close to you. So thank you for being as amazing as everyone tells me you were, and I miss you dearly.

You’ve been dead for three days now. And I feel so sad about it. Especially since you didn’t just die ; you ended your own life. You, wonderful singer of Linkin Park. It caused me quite a shock when I heard it on the news, really. I just couldn’t believe it.

Chester, you were my voice when I didn’t know how to use it.

You and the guys of Linkin Park put words on my pain when I felt really down and couldn’t do it myself. I do believe that you saved a lot of kids out there, by giving them hope, for sure, but also by the mere fact of expressing their pain, through your voices, music and lyrics – those beautiful lyrics, they won’t ever leave me.

I’m not the kind of person who is really keen on festivals and concerts, but god knows I would have loved to see you (a)live on stage. You had such an incredibly powerful & mighty voice. You could be singing, screaming, yelling ; with such a soft voice, sometimes with a comforting gentleness, sometimes an aching tenderness ; or with such an angry voice, shouting out all the pain, the rage, the fear. Very ... Read more

Hey. It’s me. Hattie just showed me this website, so I figured I’d say hi. Maybe I’ll come back soon. I’ll always love you.

When I heard that you hung your self I really didn’t want to admit it. You were in pain, the kind of pain no one should have to feel. I don’t want to but I blame you for most of my pain and depression. the week you died my Uncle passed away from stage 5 cancer and my best friends dad died from a stroke. it hurt. why did you do it. I’ve felt that kind of pain . I guess im just writing to say I’ve forgiven you. I just need you to know that suicide doesn’t end the pain, it just passes it on…and Timmy you passed your pain to me. and I forgive you, because unlike you I guess I was strong enough…suicide is for those who cant handle the brokenness and guilt. I just want to say I undersand and I miss you.

You may have been gone since 1/22/08 and i forgot that you have until i watched 10 Things I Hate About You on Netflix and fell in love with the movie and Patrick. So i looked up the cast and clicked on you. It said you died and then it hit me, i remember my mom telling me from seeing it on the news. I was 6 and you were 28, which is too young to die. After the realization you arent in any new movies i went through a small time of sadness and i mourned your death like it just happened. Then i watched the Dark Knight and praised the way you executed the Joker. You are my favorite Joker and that is one of my favorites but 10 Things I Hate About You will always be my #1 and i finally purchased the movie!! Then i watched A Knights Tale which was funny and made me laugh at the characters and your acting was great as always. I want to see Lords of Dogtown so badly because you played Skip and its about skateboarding which seems good. I havent seen any of your other movies ... Read more

So far you probably know that I keep on coming here to this site to write you a letter, whenever I feel too desperate and sad because of you, that I feel like nothing else is going to work. I feel like this is somehow your email to heaven and that if I write here, you can actually read it. Whenever I feel so low because of what happened and I sit in my room at night, feeling like I’m going to explode, I come here. This is my instand therapy. It always helped so far. Even though I haven’t written you in a while, that doesn’t mean I’m okay. I’m just shut down. And tonight is so hard, because I realized that today would have been your birthday. Shock. And then I went through some pictures and made it all even worse. I miss you. Even though I don’t even know what I miss. That’s what makes it harder probably. I’ve started therapy also, been there three times so far, and I’m so happy I’m doing it. I have the perfect therapist, and she always gives me hope. I wish you could have seen here. I would so very much ... Read more
