All day every day you grow nearer and dearer to me. Why do I think of you as mine? You are just a child and belong to your mother! And still, you are such a fine, strong man and belong to me! I was so glad to hear your voice on the phone and just after George called, too. Some day we will tell the whole world we belong to each other and then no one will bother me about dates. Then I can explain while now I sometimes have to -- to keep from hurting non-understanding feelings.

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
