This book has touched me in so many ways. I realize that everyone in your life is important even if you don't know them all that well and you will feel sad when they aren't around anymore. For example, Ruth. She didn't even realize that she would miss Suzie if she were to …more not be around until Suzie was dead. This book made me realize a lot of things that I can't even explain. It showed me that life goes on even if something terrible happens to you and that doesn't mean that you have to forget about your loss. (less)
