John has a nasty cold and consequently is as cold as possible to me. I'll do my best and be patient until its over. I do everything in my power for him, grant every possible request. I never tell him his faults and try not to let him know when he hurts me and I ask myself - why? He comes and goes just as he pleases. When he wants me he always knows where to find me. I take his sarcasm with a grain and ask nothing of him. - Why? I've waited four and a half years for him and never mentioned it - Why?
The first Sunday in the new year and I have not been to church or Sunday School.

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
