Hello @kemmyb. I'm pleased for your visit and lovely words for my story. Yes, I wanted to narrate the couple's life from the viewpoint of the journal. Taking in the husband's side of the story about the breakup left the journal yearning for more.

When the words stopped coming, the journal became concerned. It was fun to write from an inanimate object's point of view. I was hoping I captured the journal's feelings about divulging the deepest thoughts of its owner.

If it's one thing I learned from this story was that no matter how big an issue a disagreement may seem, there is always hope. Sometimes it takes distance to realize the mistakes made. One can only hope that the distance is not too far, and the time passed has not been too long. It would have been a waste of a relationship if Wesley had passed away without trying to make amends, and Marietta had not forgiven him so that they could spend however much time left documenting memories together for the journal.

I love your analysis and thoughtful insight into the couple and their journey through the eyes of the journal.

I appreciate your support as always. Take care and have a good rest of your weekend.
