Dear diary,
I think I got traumatized by yesterday’s event. I can’t believe he did this. Most of my family members are gone: My brother larry and now my own father too. In the end, he was responsible for the death of his own son and 21 more men and he probably felt awful and guilty about that but still, that was not the right way to atone for his crime. I think I was the one who led to the death of my own father and I hate myself for that. My father has probably heard the whole conversation between me and my mom that included me talking about how much I am disappointed and ashamed that he was my father. I know that because he entered the room in the middle of the conversation and then went to his room where he committed suicide. As I write, I think that maybe I shouldn’t have talked about him the horrible way I did and I think that if I were softer in the description of my father during the conversation, he would be still with us. I hate to think about this day, but deeply inside I loved my father and I miss him even though he did this awful crime and I am sad he has decided to solve this problem with this horrible way. Now i am left with nothing but my mom and I can’t leave her like I was planning to do, not at times like this. She is broken and I have to stay with her and calm her down until she forgets this tragedy. I hope these days would pass fast enough so we could forget and leave this horrible event behind us.
Until next time…
