Emily's Story

Dear Diary,

Father was enrolled in war today. Mother is but a tear away from a full sob and I am not bothering to cry. Tears don't come anymore. They just don't apply to my eyes like a normal person. After Andrew's death I just don't cry. Instead I got to the meadow and sit on the big rock to think about life and it hills and it's valleys. Samantha tries to comfort me but what can a friend do that a sister or mother couldn't do. That's what I asked myself when Samantha followed me to my rock. I screamed at her then ran home and cried, that's the first time I've cried since Andrew, Diary, it's the first time I've cried. The wash needs doing, Diary, it will be the last time that I do the wash with my father. I am going to cry again, life is terrible to me.

Sincerely,

Emily Malia Bishop

Dear Diary,

Today was the most horrible day of my life. Watching my father leave with his pack over his shoulder not knowing if he was to ever come back again. I didn't cry, Diary, I was so sad that tears just would leave. I wanted them to wet my eyes and roll down my cheeks and then land on my father when I kissed him goodbye, so that it would seep into his skin and then be with him when I could not. Diary, I wanted so much to let him know that I was there and that I wanted him to know that I loved him. Words were scarce. All I could say was I love you. And that I wanted him to be careful so that he could come home to me. He said he would that he was coming home nomatter what ever. I loved him so much at that moment, I don't know if I will ever love someone that much again. Ever. But I will leave this entry on a happy note, Samantha and I made up today and we went to the big rock...together.

Sincerely,

Emily Malia Bishop

This is a diary of a girl whom lived a life during the war. Her father enrolls to fight for America and she writes these diary entrys during that time. It is one of the deepest things that I have written throughout my whole writing career. I think that it is worth the time to read and that if you like it you should e-mail me at ShortyDoWop7856@aol.com and don't worry there are many more entrys to come!!!
