Note

Hi Y’all. This is my second fic about these two and i’m taking a risk here cuz i basically just used their names and wrote a new story. So if that’s not your thing then i’m sorry, it’s probably best for you not to read it.But! If you are obsessed with the last century and the way of living at that time and happen to have a being-forced-to-go-to-war-and-leave-your-loved-ones-behind complex, this work might be your cup of tea.Again, English is still not my first language and i apologize in advance for any grammar and spelling mistakes. Have fun reading.

Momma made me a big cake. Vanela flavor.

My friends all came to the party and i have so many gifts.

I am so happy.

When is your birthday and do you have cake too? Do you have friends give you gifts? Is Santa your friend? If you don’t have friends, i can be your friend if you want. I hope you like cake.

Oh and my birthday wish is to see Papa as soon as posible.

Thank you and goodbye.

Serena

Dear God

Momma is sad. I don’t know why.

A big man dress pretty come to our house today and Momma told me to stay in my room.

I play with Princess for an entair afternoon and he chew on my shoe. When Momma come to my room and say it is time for dinner, she look sad, her eyes are red. I think she is been crying.
We have chicken and some potatoes for dinner. I love potatoes.

Momma forgot to say prayers tonight. But don’t worry, i said it for her.

Can you tell my Papa to come home quick? I think Momma miss him too.

Serena

Oh and Princess is my dog. I love him.

Dear God

Happy New Year!

Mrs. Emerson gave me candy today. She has a big candy shop and every new year she give us candies. I like her.

Preacher Jones came into our house today in his suit. And a few men also came to. Momma told me to go play with Sarah outside and i did. Sarah is my best friend and my neibour. Her Papa came home a few days ago and i’m happy for her. I just wish my Papa can be home soon.

Sarah and i play fetch with Princess. He is so good at it. I love him so much. When we were playing, Johnny saw us and say he want to play with us too. I didn’t agree.

I don’t like him. He pull my hair one time and it hurts.

So he say my Papa is not coming home because he is dad.

What does that mean?

Papa is my dad.

When i ask Momma at dinner what does Johnny mean, she cried and hug me. I like hugs but i don’t like Momma cry.

Can you make Momma stop crying? Thank you.

Serena
