“A letter to send to you and if I forget, or god forbid die too soon, hope that you'll hear me,know that I wrote to you.”

“You tried to so hard to forget me; you burnt the letters I made. Though my memory has been dying,I hope the feeling still remains. Will you meet me in the middle someday?”

“If I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, 'Kurt is up in heaven now.' That's my favorite joke.”

“No. Absolutely not. I forbid it. You'll have nightmares." "She was my friend! You must allow me. Why are you so horrid?" As soon as the angry words were out of my mouth, I knew I had gone too far. "Matilda!" Mother rose from her chair. "You are forbidden to pseak to me in that tone! Apologize at once.”

“You don't need to know my name. You'll forget it soon enough.”

“That night I sat up writing in my diary writing to Big Me: 'I hope you are alive ' I wrote. 'I hope that I don't die before you are able to read this.”
