Dear Christopher Hitchens,

I've been putting off writing this letter. The one in which I must say goodbye. I really believed you'd beat the demon cancer. Thought you'd show them all. But in the end you were human. Would never have guessed it by your writing. Your wizardry with the English language continually left me spellbound. I may not have agreed with every single thing you said but I loved the way you said it. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for making me want to be better. To be smarter and more courageous. We have your wonderfully majestic and brutal words to remember you by. What more could we ask for?

Sincerely,
PC
