Diary 7

I have been writing in my new diary for five years since I had my first child. In these five years , I wrote almost about my family down in my diary and a little about myself. I am glad to reread this diary and tell my children what was happened with them. Actually, the new diary is not for me, just for my children. They can’t read yet, but one day when they are adults I am going to give these diaries from my gifts to them. I hope they read the stories about themselves in the diaries and tell their children in the future. I have finished the past five years and I have started the next five years. I hope I cannot stop writing my diaries until I am dead. I hope my diary is very exciting for them and when they read my diary I hope they are excited.
