Dear Diary,
Simon finally was able to reach me. After a long and vigorious day in court, they found his dad guilty for child abuse. Tomorrow Simon's gonna find out where his new foster parents live. He already knows it's out of the state. His dad is gonna be in prison for sixteen years in prison. He was going to just receive only eleven, but he went and stole his kids back from their original foster home. There is some good news. Simon and Franky are gonna be in the same foster home! Yay! Marie left for Oklahoma today. She has my e mail adress and mail box adress and phone number though, so we won't lose complete contact. My stupid social worker is here. Gotta go.

Dear Diary,
Simon found out that his foster home is in Arkansas. My aunt lives there! Her name is Michelle and we go to visit her once every four months and for Christmas. Leanne says that the next time we visit her, we can visit Simon too. And since Oklahoma isn't too far away from Arkansas, we'll visit Marie too!!!!! Maybe everything is really gonna be alright, but I'm not gonna speak too soon like last time. I can only hope. I can only hope.

Dear Diary,
I put this diary away for five years, now I am eighteen and I was preparing to move out of my sister and her husband Ronnie's house to go to college, when I found this. I read over it and felt the need to finish it. Okay, here goes. I frequently visited Marie and Simon and they are going to college this year too. When Keith was fifteen, he found an apartment and moved in there, so he's no longer my brother. He's now my husband. I know it's awkward that one minute he was my official brother, then the next he was my husband. He proposed when we were in Wyoming, Yellowstone. The place I've always wantd to go. So he took me and turned on the camera and proposed.We're gonna get married May 17th, the day we first started dating in sixth grade. Marie is a lawyer and is going to move to Georgia, where she's always wanted to live because that's where her mother was born. Simon works as an undercover cop for child abuse now. He's gotten three people arrested so far. He's gonna move down here to be with his friends (me and Keith). He's gonna have to change where he moves to though, cause me and Keith are moving to Wyoming and I'm working in Yellowstone National Park. I always knew where this diary was at, I just never found the time to bring it out. Looks like everything turned out alright though. It really turned out alright.
