Chris’s diary

Dear Diary,

This is a hard day. It is hard to be happy and sad at the same time. Millions of thoughts are crossing my head right now. First of all, I came back from the war alive. It still hasn’t ended, but it is clearly the end. Japan had already surrendered, and Germany’s troops and control are fading. But that war had a cost. The world has to pay for what it has done. Forcing youth to become soldiers who fight almost innocently, without a real purpose. Millions have died, including all of my unit and my brother, Larry. They were all like family to me. I don’t know how I can move forward without them in my life, and don’t even mention my mom. She is crushed… Technically, Larry is still MIA so she has hope, but both me and dad know that the chance he is alive is very slim. I wonder how other families feel about their loss… I wonder how Annie feels now…
