I Cried So Hard

 
Question: 

I just finished reading intensely alice, I cried so hard, i felt as though my heart was going to explode!
when —— died, the tears immeadietely started rolling.
 about four years ago, when I was in fourth grade, I had a friend, the most wonderful boy I will have ever known. but on the last day of school, none of us ever knew that we’d never see him again.his smile, his laugh, his eyes, that always had a spark of light in them.
it was august when it happened.
my mom came into the room, and asked me, “do you know —– ———?” I answered yes, and she told me that he was in  the sand dunes, and somehow, some sand collasped on him.he didn’t survive.
I felt like I had died that day, and as  soon as I read that part of the book phyillis, it all came back, the memory, the pain I had felt.
its so weird, how a book can bring so much emotion into your heart.
that’s why I LLOOOOOOOVE your alice books, especially intensely alice. that’s my favorite book so far.
I cannot wait until 2010, june is the month of my birthday, and this new book of alice, will be like a VERY special birthday present!!
you are definetly my favorite author, and no matter what, keep on writing!!!!!!
 

Phyllis replied:

I’m so sorry about your friend.  It’s really awful when you see someone casually and then find out he’s gone.  We can’t live as though we’re always seeing someone for the last time, but sometimes we are.  I try never to leave the house with angry words between me and my husband–just in case.
