Chapter Two
STRAWBERRIES
Tues. July 12th
Bonjour Meme,
I woke up late, as far as I could tell without a working clock, inside Marvella. Inside camping is always best, meme; you're right about that.
If I'd known about Fwa earlier, I could have saved the sea lion pup. She deserved life. Why does God kill? I don't understand suffering and dying.
My world would be different, meme, if I were in charge. Fwa wouldn't have died. I wouldn't be lost. Papa wouldn't be mean. Ma mere would stand up for me. Miles would care about me. And the twins would give me my space and stay out of my room.
Now I would give anything to be home with the twins in my room!
Even though I'm starting out late today, last night before I fell asleep, I thought about heading to Strawberry Sand to collect what strawberries I can find. After breakfast I'll head to Strawberry Sand to collect the berries, but first I think I'll retrieve the wheelbarrow from Sea Lion Bay, and the driftwood I need for the altar, so I can finish it this week.
Please watch over me at Sea Lion Bay.
Ba' bye
