Submission 02

Dear Aeva,

It's going on 2 years…well you left us June of 2020 exactly 1 month after your 15th birthday.

I remember the day, like it happened today…your Grandpa Dave called me…it was 10:47 am, I was trying to get ready for work..I wasn't feeling quite right..kind of sick feeling.

He said you were dead..he said Aeva’s dead, she killed herself...I dropped onto my knees and threw my phone..screamed…from the bottom of my lungs…it felt as though my chest would explode…maybe my heart was breaking into a million pieces.

When I picked up my phone…he told me a few details and said pull yourself together and get here, your daughters need you.

Aeva…we talked on your Birthday about you being impulsive…I can't help think this is what happened…I'm not mad at you…I'm not ashamed, I just miss you and so does your whole family and your friends…but your mom…she is broken inside without you…why did you do this…you had so much more life to live…it has changed all of us. We will never be the same.

I love you…please watch over us.

Grandma
