Forget me never...

Lettre 64

My dear diary,

It's been a few years since I've written things about my life... So many things happened since my last entry.

After our wonderful stay in Scotland, we went back to America without grandpa and grandma, who stayed behind in London in grandpa's duchy.

When we got back to New York, I was able to see my cousin Alistair whom I had missed during my stay abroad. Uncle Archie was now working in the New York branch of Andrew Entreprises, which meant that mom had her sister Auntie Annie nearby and I had my cousin Alistair. Auntie Patricia was also leaving now in New York. She was a teacher and her husband too was a teacher in our school.

Mom had another baby. Dad was caring for her so much it wasn't possible. Auntie Patricia was also in the family way...They had their baby about the same period of time. Mom had a little girl Juliet and two years later Terrence Junior.

Uncle Albert, mom's first husband, is also very present in my life. He's always present when I need him and he helps me the best way he can.

My father is always my hero. When I took the writing from my diary to make a manuscript, he encouraged me and helped me. I also asked mom to tell me her story so that my book will be complete. Dad also told me about his childhood. My novel is going to be published soon. My life is simply fantastic at the moment. I also have lots of ideas for theatre plays that I show my father who promised me to put it on stage soon. Ideas are flowing in my head and my father encourages me to put them on paper.

Grandma and grandpa are still living in England. We go see them over the summer and we also spend time in Scotland. Mom made it so that dad reconciled with his brother and sisters, which is pretty cool, because now I have an uncle and two aunties in England, that I actually know and see. They have children, so I have little English cousins too.

Girls are falling in my arms; with Alistair, we sometime don't know what to do. But I think I've met the one who's making my heart pound wildly... My cousin Alistair's sister, Janice. I considered her like my sister until the day I saw one of our friends looking at her with lust and it made my blood boil. I didn't understand what was happening to me and I went to talk to my father, who burst out laughing telling me that I had been hit by Cupid's arrow, that I was in love with Janice! She seemed to love me too... I want the kind of love my parents have for each other. Over the years, I only saw their love grow... I hope I'll be as happy one day with Janice.

Otherwise, living in New York with family and friends is wonderful. We can count on each other, we're all from the same family. I protect Juliet, my little sister with my life and my little brother Terrence too. To be a big brother, it's really a great pleasure for me.

When I analyse my life, I find it that I'm pretty lucky... I've had a very happy childhood even if my life wasn't in my life at first, I had my mother, my auntie Annie, my uncle Archibald, my cousin Alistair, the whole Pony Home... When I met my father, my life just became better. My parents' marriage was the peak of my little live... to see my parents happy every day, having a brother and a sister...

I'm happy that my parents didn't give up being together. I'm happier and I understand better what happened. Their love endured a lot of hardship. But love, true love, is worth fighting for. Love always triumphs. The Bible is very clear when it say; Love never fails.

The End
