Dear journal,
times are tough, food is scarce, and we are losing hope. Papa can't find work Mama tries to kept tough and reassure us that everything is going to be alright, but John and i know different. nobody knnows what to do. before the stock market crash the economy was booming everything was fine. like a lot of others we lost our life savings. we can't do anything else but wait fore things to get better. i know the time will eventually come.
