Letter 1 

Dear Dad,
Hi Dad. It's Zoey. I'm now sixteen and mom still won't talk about you. I've waited ten years for you to come home. But you never did. I want to know about you, and I want you to know about me. Even though I don't remember you that well, I still love you. I would give my last thousand words to you. So, I will be writing these letters all my life even if you don't write back. I've needed you, and I still do. Mom won't say anything to me about you. I love you. It would mean everything in the world to me if you could come home. Please. 
Love your daughter,
Zoey Gavril

• • • • • Watching from afar has become my new way of life. Watching my friends be happy, watching my peers live in a blissful ignorance, and watching my family watch me wither away. Being diagnosed with cancer was a painful punch to the gut, a wake up call I didn't think I needed. And as I watched my family crumble apart under the weight of my sickness, I made the decision that nobody else would ever know. So my cancer is my secret, it's locked away in so many vaults that nobody will ever be able to reach it. Not even Zach Dawson.
