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.
