       I had never been lonely. Not since my dads adopted me. I had the entire attic just for me, art and lanterns everywhere. Papa says I'm from the Nether, and that he and Dad rescued me on Valentines day. 
       
     I don't remember it, but apparently I was quite the trouble maker. They spent at least an hour trying to get me home. Papa says that water will hurt me, like it does to him. I've also heard that Uncle Ghostbur can't touch water. I dubbed us the wary-of-water club. 
     
     They were very careful about making sure I didn't touch the water. They are still mad at Mr. Awsamdude for pulling a prank on them. My dads won't say what happened. Papa thinks it will be traumatic. 
       
     I think Papa is scared of a lot of things, he won't let me go outside often. We used to go outside a lot, but ever since Uncle Tommy stopped visiting they only let me look out the window. 
       
     Dad said that soon we are moving into a bigger house. I think I've seen it before, it's made of stone and wood and is huge! Plenty of space to play in. 
     
     I wish I had more friends to play with, Ms. Puffy said she was gonna bring me a friend, but Papa and Dad got upset with her. Mr. Foolish brings Foolish Jr. To play sometimes, but he never says much. 
       
     Papa makes sure someone is usually with me, but he doesn't trust many people. I haven't met Uncle Techno yet. I've met my cousin Fundy. He's old. And no fun to play with. Grandpa Phil is very nice. He doesn't say much either, but maybe that's because he's so old and wise.
       
     Uncle Tommy is loud, almost too loud, but now I'm not used to the quiet. It reminds me that I'm alone. Papa or Dad stay with me most if the day, but not many others. They won't tell me why Uncle Tommy stopped visiting. I've noticed they seem more sad, I think something happened to him. I always do my best to make them smile, even if it's a sad one.
     
      Uncle Ghostbur is funny, he has an odd voice. It reminds me of an echo. And he also has a sheep! Their name is Friend. Friend is blue and very very fluffy and soft. Sometimes Uncle Ghostbur gets sad, I think it's because he forgets things. So I give him my lantern to hold since he likes blue.
       
     Papa also forgets things a lot. One time he came home and his eyes were purple. He also held his axe. He looked a bit scary but after a bit he smiled and said hello. He never explained why his eyes were purple. 
       
     Dad talks about fireworks a lot, but not around me. I just listen through my window. But lately I haven't heard anything about fireworks. He seems more stressed though. And Mr. Jack is pretending to be a detective. 
       
     Sometimes Papa writes in a notebook, he says it helps him remember important things. He wouldn't really tell me what they are, but I think it's how he feels. So I wanted to do the same! Uncle Ghostbur and Grandpa Phil say that knowing your feelings is a good thing. Well, Uncle Ghostburs message was a bit more confusing. He mentioned blue a lot, but I think I got it. 
      
     That's all I know for now, so goodbye Mr. Diary! Or Ms. Or Mx., whatever pleases you!
