Know That I Love You
Amy, Age 14, Merced, CA

It’s not supposed to be this way
Can’t you see?
You have to get better!
I don’t want you to die!

They said you were getting better
And that the cancer was going away
But they were wrong
And the cancer is killing you

The last time I visited
I told myself I’d be back
I told you that I loved you
And hugged you good-bye

I didn’t know
I wouldn’t ever see you again
I want to go back
And give you one last hug

We aren’t allowed to visit
But even though I can’t see you
Know that I love you
And that I’ll always remember you

I don’t want this to happen
You’re a fighter and
You’ve been fighting for so long
Don’t give up now

I want my little brother
To have lots of memories of you
You have to live long enough
To let that happen

Just keep fighting it
Don’t give up
We need you
Here with us

You’ve missed so much of my life
When you we’re sick
Please get better
I want to share the rest with you

I’m doing things for you
I’m going to see your favorite team play
In honor of you
I wish you could be there with me

I don’t want you to go
I’m already missing you so much
I’m missing our hikes, your stories
And everything about you

I don’t know if you can hear me
But know that I love you
And that I’ll cherish my memory of you
Forever
