Dear Diary,

My daddy just left and I just know he ain't coming back...I can feel it in my heart! I know we will be liviin on the streets now because my ma can't even read. I might be able to get a job, but I'm only 13. Or I might be kicked out since there is seven of us kids, and I'm the oldest!
I don't know.
