Dear Dr Osei,
These are my questions.
1. Will I be awake.
2. Will it hurt after.
3. Can my dad be there when I wake up.
4. Can I keep the wire you put in.
5. If I die can my dad keep my drawings and also my logbook and can Captain Walt keep flying other kids.
Thank you. From Theo Hale.

Ferris held out his hand. Celeste folded the page along its crease and laid it in his palm, and he passed it to Marcus, and Marcus put it at the back of the folder and pressed the Velcro shut, gently, all the way across, and gave it to his son.
Theo set it flat on his knees and put his hands flat on top of it and began, very softly, to hum.
