Light & Shadow 2024: Time Moves Fast

Time Moves Fast Liz Burke | 2026

My cousin Liza is the brightest girl I know. She has a brother, Jack, and an older sister, Edie. Edie was almost 10 when she died of a rare genetic disorder in May 2008. At the time, Liza was six. Last year, while on Spring Break in Mexico, Liza lied down with a headache. She never woke up. Liza was later diagnosed with an aggressive, malignant brain tumor, having died there,

holding Jack’s hand on the beach. Liza and Edie are together now. I missed Thanksgiving almost three years ago. I didn’t know that would’ve been my last time seeing her, my cousin, Liza. I can’t even remember the last time I said, “I love you”. Time moves fast, so speak up before it’s too late.
