"I’d Date You for a Hundred Lifetimes" is the note that changed everything. Written in the unique font by Piper on a soft summer afternoon, it was a sweet, whimsical declaration intended for her imaginary boyfriend—Jim... or maybe it was Tony. At the time, it didn’t matter who exactly. What mattered was the boldness of the sentiment, the spark of teen romance, and the pure, uninhibited expression of love.
It was a turning point. Piper, who is autistic and learning disabled, handed over the note with a cheeky smile and a quiet confidence. She was just shy of 17, and this simple yet poetic line made one thing crystal clear—like every other teenager, Piper felt the tug of love, crushes, and romantic imagination. And more than that, she was now reading and writing on her own, something I (Kate her mum) had thought might never happen.
This note was the beginning—not just of the Notes by Piper collection, but of a new understanding. A moment that honoured her growth, her humour, her romantic heart, and the many teachers and supporters who believed in her along the way.
“I’d Date You for a Hundred Lifetimes” is more than a cute phrase. It’s Piper’s voice—joyful, independent, and full of feeling. It reminds us all that love is universal, and that every person, regardless of learning ability, has stories to tell and hearts to share.
