The Diary Entry

May 20, 2010

I finally did it! I proposed to Elizabeth and she said yes! Florence can't call me a wuss anymore. I can't wait to see the look on her face. But she'll be so happy I proposed, everyone will be. Mom and Dad are thrilled. Dad nearly fainted! I'll let the fact sink in for a bit. I'm so happy that I saved up all that money for the ring, cheap as it was. I plan on taking on another shift; I want to give Elizabeth the best of everything. This is the start of a brand new life for us and I can't wait to live it.

New Year and a Gift

2014 is upon us, sooner than I thought. Every new year seems like it comes quicker than the last one. It's freaky how every future becomes the present, and how every present becomes the past. In a way it's almost maddening. I wore  purple in honor of Catherine and the year she would never see. I tried calling her parents to wish them a happy new year, but they didn't pick up. I feel bad for them and I miss them terribly. I hope 2014 is kind to them.

On Christmas day I found a folded up piece of paper with my name on it taped to the front door. I already got a sense of dread before I even opened it. I nearly choked on my own air when I saw what it was.
