The doctors used big words—acute lymphoblastic leukemia—but all I understood was that her body was betraying her. She had good days and bad days.

“Remember when we stayed up all night trying to beat that one level in LittleBigPlanet ?” she had whispered last week, her voice a fragile thread. “Sackboy kept falling into the pit, and you got so mad you threw the controller at the pillow.”
