Letters to a Boy who has Cancer

What about your life?

Dear Adam,

Really? Jelly fishers kiss? Is that my new nickname? Well, my is Arabella Keema Chatterji. Yes, I'm half Indian and Dutch. I'm half Chickasaw Indian. My first name means beautiful and my middle name means butterfly, so pretty much beautiful butterfly. I go by Keema because I like it more. I'm 13 turning 14, April 17th. I have a normal indian tan I guess that's what it's called? Anyway, I have jet black hair which goes above my knees in a single braid and I have light brown eyes thanks to my grandmother. Everyone in my school and family says I'm beautiful, but l don't know. My mom is Dutch. Her name is Aleydis which means Noble kind of the noble sort. Which is true, though. My dad is fully blooded Chicksaw Indian. Truth is I don't know how to spell his name! I have two younger sisters who are twins! Abhay is the oldest one by two minutes. Abhay means fearless which is Indian. She looks more Indian then Aahie. Aahie looks more like both? I guess? She's pale with jet black hair and has green eyes. Aahie mean balance.We live in a three story house in LA. My mom helps writes movies and edits them. My dad has played in a few movies. I was in one when I was four! Cool, huh? I love singing and to draw landscapes sometimes my mom uses them has kids drawings in movies. I go to PMS which is Palms Middle School. I really love my family and school. Yeah, that's really it for me...what about you?

Love,

Keema

Dear Keema,

Wow, your life sounds awesome maybe you can send me a picture of you and your family. Well, my name is Adam Brown. I'm just full American. Nothing special. When I had my hair it was blonde, but I haven't seen hair in four years. I have ice blue eyes which to me look lifeless compare to my friends eyes and my family. I can't sing or draw or nothing like that. I suck at sports. I can act though I'm really good at that. I am hospital schooled I guess that's what it's called? My mom died when I was eight from cancer. My dad I really don't know who he is. I've only seen him once and I look nothing like him. I have no brothers or sisters. I've been battling cancer since I was ten and I'm 15 now. My birthday is April 23th. I lived in Nashville until I moved to Memphis. I use to live in a apartment until I came here. Yeah, that's it for me nothing special like you.

From,

Adam
