Dear Diary

There are exactly 100 days left before Alan gets his demob.  How I wish that I could have waited til then before we met.  Every morning and every evening I look for his letters.  It still hasn’t registered that I won’t be getting any more.

100 days works out to be 14 weeks.  I wish it were nearer.  Yet, when I look back to January it seems years ago.  In actual fact it has gone very quickly.  It is over 4 months since I met him.  I know the time from now until August will go quicker still.
