Things since July 16 have been interesting around here. Mom walks around singing all the time. All these ‘happy, everybody loves each other’ songs, she can’t seem to get enough of. We’ve gotten a lot of letters from dad lately, and that makes us all happy. I’m still a bit uneasy about all the good feelings everyone else has, I don’t see that it can be that simple. We have a huge success in one thing, so all our problems disappear? I’m not so sure, but my mother disagrees. I went down to Lake Lanier today, to go for a swim and clear my head. As I was getting dried off and ready to ride my bike back home, I saw that the sun was setting. I sat down on the bank, and watched as the sun fell behind the water. It was the most beatiful thing I had ever seen, and I thought to myself that maybe my mom was right.
