I Couldn’t Hold It In

Question:

I read intensley alice and I was wondering when you first made —– did you know you would make him die?  It was so sad at first I didn’t cry but when Alice said she wished he had the radio on full blast and that one moment it was music and then nothing I cried. I couldn’t hold it in! And I think I figured it out when you say that in the last book your going to skip years to when she is sixty.Well I still remember when they were supposed to open the time capsul when they are sixty so what I think is that they are going to open the capsul and that will be the end. That is so gonna make me cry!!!!!!  Anyway thanks bye!!!!!!

Yes, there are some sad things ahead, some scary things, some wonderful and fun things….just like life.  But no, when I first created the character who dies, I hadn’t planned it.  Life happens.
