Ellie,

I received a letter two days ago. It was from your brother. I can't believe that you are really dead! As I try to quickly write this while looking at the hole they’re digging up for you, I can’t believe it. I’m placing this last letter in your coffin so you could read it, in heaven— where you belong. I wish that I could have said goodbye—no, I wish I hadn’t let you go. We could’ve gone through it together. I miss you, Ellie. I really do. I know I should’ve said this when I had the chance but— I love you. I love you so much and I always will. If I had known that you had cancer, I would’ve been there. We could’ve enjoyed your last moments together. I will always remember how you used to call me “Mattie” to annoy me; how I used to say that I hated the name but we both knew I secretly loved it. I will miss the park dates and how you used to think of us together in the future. I will always remember you but I’m not sure that I can live happily. You were and always will be my world.

I love you, Ellie. I always will.

Yours truly, Mattie
