Chris’s Diary

Dear Diary,

Today, after 2 years, I met Ann again. I know it might seem wrong. After all, she was Larry’s girlfriend. Why should I ruin my life for someone who is clearly not coming back? I must marry this girl, I know she is the one for me. I wish I could just do whatever I want without thinking about my parents’ opinions, but in this case, I just can’t. I won’t let this family fall apart. I’m tired of feeling guilty all the time. Since I came back from the war I can’t stop thinking about my dead friends. Why do I deserve to live, and they don’t? I wish I could know the answers for everything that happened in this bloody war. But, when I’m with Ann I forget about everything. Finally, I can have a good time without thinking – how can life just go on after everything that happened during that awful war? I really don’t know how I’ll do it, but I won’t give up. Until tomorrow, Ann will be my wife, even if others won’t be so happy about it as I am.
