"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 years since you’ve been gone. I built a new world without you and now it’s crumbling down. I’m constantly losing to find myself. And just like written in this book, past haunts me even when I’m awake. Some things just don’t go away. They linger until you break down with fragments of memories. I truly regret the times I have taken you both for granted, for not being good enough, and for forgetting that you were growing old too as much as I do. I’d trade a day just to be with you again. Even if God will deduct that day in my own span of life, I won’t mind. I just wish you’re still here so my father won’t have to deal with pain alone. He needs you more than anyone else. And maybe it’s true that we, the living, don’t forget you, we just learn to live without you. Things would’ve been different if you’re still here, I guess. I just hope you’re fine wherever you are. I love you and will always do.
