Dear Journal
It is now 1812, I am sorry I have not written to you for a long time. Let me let you know what you missed. There is a war going on right now and I am very scared. Papa had to go and serve in the military. I really want him to come back. He went to go serve a man named Napoleon Bonaparte and fight for the mother country of France. He had to travel overseas to reach Britain. The day he left, Mama cried for a long time. I think that she is afraid he is going to die. He has written letters to me every Sunday and always ends the letter with "Ne t'inquiete pas, ma chere, je vais retourner bientot." That is French for "Do not worry my dear, I will return soon." I know he is ok, but I still worry for Papa.

Yes, I have heard your mother weeping because I live next door. She sounds very upset. I tried to make her feel better the other day, but I didn't make a difference.
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't worry about your father he can take care of himself he will be back after the war, not doubt.
