Mama's burial

September,9th,1875.

Dear diary,today papa said that Preacher John was gonna pray for mama while they put her in the ground so she can visit Jesus and the Lord himself. I asked him how long mama would be visiting and he said that she had to help Auntie Belle with the field in heaven. I decided to be good and quiet when Preacher John came in,papa always said he was a man of God and had to be shown respect. I wanted to ask him if he would help mama return home when she sent for him to pick her up but decided that I must hold my tounge and wait for permission. Mama said I had to be an Angel for daddy so an angel I'll be!

9:07am,later

They put mama in the ground. I wanted to know why everyone was crying. Mama would be back...I know she will be back...papa said so. Papa was crying and he looked so sad. I told him mama would be back but he didn't smile. Did I speak out of turn diary?

I was supposed to be asleep ages ago but I couldn't sleep. Papa is still so sad and he's drinking all the ale. I want to make him happy again...I really do. I must go to sleep now,my diary,for I must think of a way to make papa happy!
