Friday
Dear Diary,
Yesterday, I went to visit some friends and had a great time. They were talking about how they had a family picnic and enjoyed themselves. But when it comes to me, I am left with no stories to tell.
This was because my father is out of state and unable to come home. The pandemic has left us separated, and that has been a huge blow to our holiday plans. Added to that, daddy's area has bad reception which leads to another frustration altogether. My only hope is that I want my dad to get home as soon as possible.
Praying for his safety and health.
Goodnight.
Love,
Sandy
