Was mother right? If you had not captured my heart I would be more contented when I am at home without you - no - that is not right for when I am home, alone, at least I can dream of you. If you had not made me love you (by being what you are) I would miss the dreaming that does content me when you are away from me. Can youth and love and dreams ever die? I could live without youth but not without love and dreams. If any part of my life is not controlled by love and dreams I wish that I might discard it. It is the material worthless part that lives with them.

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
