"Mary!" my friend said as we were clearing out my twin's room "what is it, Anna," I said struggling not to cry at everything in the room "look at this it looks like a diary entry addressed to you," Anna said "the date of the entry addressed before he went away to war" I at once go to her and snatched it out of her hand and she is correct the date of the entry was September 23 it read

Dear Mary,

I realize if you are reading this I'm dead but I just want you to know that you have always been right in every way and you are smart, beautiful, young women and any man or women will love to take you around I'm sorry I won't be able to see your future family but don't forget me because I love you 3000

I was silent all the tears I had been keeping back all released a waterfall of grief smashed down and I couldn't stop it "Hey Jacob Mary needs comfort" Anna said over the phone it only took 3 minutes for Jacob to come over "what's wrong with Mary" Jacob said with worry in his voice "she is crying you should comfort her" Anna said getting her stuff and leaving the room "hey Mary want to talk" Jacob said coming over to me "no" I said "I want a hug" he comes and hugs me then we fall asleep in each other arms.
