I thank you for that random day in the earlier 2000’s that I met you in Chicago and you shine that effervescent smile and encouraged me to press on, to write, and to be an optimist.
I thank you for The WONDER book, and the Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, and Duck Rabbit.
I thank you for everything and everyone that you left behind better for reading, knowing, and admiring you.
A huge Thank You to Two Writing Teachers for your vision, your encouragement, and 30 days of writing.

Thank you for honoring Amy today — her story is one none of us will ever forget. In that way she lives on…. she gave us more.

I am still stunned and deeply saddened that she’s gone. I am incredibly grateful that a part of her will live on in her books and ideas and hopes. This has shaken so many people to the core. Thank you for posting this today. -Paula
Thank you for your post today honoring a wonderful author. Your post has me digging further into her life – so amazing!
She is a beautiful person and writer. The world won’t be the same without her.
I wanted to leave a copy of a page from Wonder, but i don’t seem to be able. It was the one with Miss Mary Fred Fred Fred… seemed like a good one for the day.
Thank you for this post. You were so lucky to have met her.
“More. Cope. Hope.” I can remember that.
An important post today. I’ve been reading and rereading some of her quotes and essays. I love that your post honors AKR. Thank you.
Miss her. She was truly a beautiful pebble with unending, innumerable ripples.
