I just got this diary today, I will write to you or at least try to write to you every day. My name is Dorothy Roberts, I live in Little Rock, arkansas. I am turning 12 this year on the 28th! I am very excited, you are an early birthday present from granny! She gave me this present now because of this new flu called the "spanish flu." My daddy also bought me a present but i am not allowed to see it yet, my mother helped him since we are low on money. But I overheard my daddy and mommy talking about a new "raise" although I don't know how much money he will make. I do know that it will be enough to support our family! My family has my daddy, my mommy and my brother William. My brother William turned 15 on january 12th. This year has been great so far! My father will only be here for a little while though, he has to fight people in a big battle! My father is very strong though so I know he will survive. My big brother would fight with daddy but he twisted his ankle, me and my mother are happy that brother does not have to go to fight alongside daddy. Daddy is leaving on the 23rd and I am very sad since he won't be back on my birthday but I am very grateful he is here with me, mommy, and brother. I have to go for now but I will be back when I can.
