The day is cold, dark, and drizzling. If it were not for my mother and you, life would not be worth living. Lying on my bed, crying, I saw your smiling face before me kissing away my tears; I put out my hand to touch you - you were not there! Gone, gone - oh John, come to me, I want you! I need you. I am lonely without you. Only death can keep you from me.

ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
