Dear Diary,

Hello, it’s been quite a while hasn’t it? Well, there hasn’t been much to talk about. School is busy as usual. Church is fine. Lilly’s baby dedication is on October 28th. The youth group is in charge of decorations for the fellowship hall. Jazz’s been invited but I don’t know if she’s coming or not. She hasn’t been to the church since Lilly’s birth. I haven’t heard from her either. I hope she’s okay. I’ll have to email her or something.

Dear Diary,

It’s been one year since I first started writing in here. I can hardly believe all the stuff that’s happened since I started. It’s amazing. If I hadn’t written it down, I’m not sure I would believe it. A year ago, I would never’ve thought that my sister would get attacked and that I would be a thirteen year old aunt. It’s crazy...

The baby dedication was really sweet. And Lilly looked so cute. Pastor’s family came in from the East Coast and Tina’s brothers came down from Oregon. I’m really happy for all of them. I met Pastor's sister, Abigail. She's really nice. We talked for a little bit. It was funny hearing stories about Pastor when he was a kid. Abigail's ten years younger then he is! If that had happened to our family, I'd have a three year old sibling!

I gave Pastor and Tina the picture. Tina got a teary eyed and Pastor seemed really moved, too. Tina gave me a long hug and told me how talented I was.

I haven’t gotten a hold of Jazz yet. She wasn't at the baby dedication. I emailed and called her but she hasn’t responded as of yet. I was going to ask Tina or Pastor but they were busy. I hope she’s all right.

Well, diary, this completes one year. Here’s to many more years to come!

Yours truly,

Esther Rose Miller

Sorry for taking so extremely long to get this last chapter posted. Again, I thank each and everyone of you for joining me on this journey. Thank you for your ideas, encouragement and reviews... I will be taking the summer off as I have summer school and will not have as much time to really work on my stories and...

Announcer: No, you're just lazy and don't want to work during the summer.

Me: Excuse me, but who is doing the talking here?

Announcer: I AM the announcer, aren't I?

Me: Fine... You're fired.

Announcer: That's Donald Trump's line, not yours.

Me: ANYWAY! Again, I thank you all for being here for me. If there's anything you'd like me to read and review, drop me a PM and I'll check it out, mind you it might not be right away.

Announcer: Lazy I tell you... All she wants to do is eat and sleep.

Me: I do NOT! Now, if you don't mind, I'm trying to finish this.

Announcer: Tune in next time for another episode of...

Me: I will leave now so that announcer of mine will finally be quiet. Blessings to you all!
