Purpose. It was a simple word. I was a normal 16 year old boy. I was raised to be proper to woman, to open their doors and kiss them on their hand. I was a good son, both my parents were proud of my achievements. Soldier, it was what I wanted to be IT had purpose. At 17 everything changed my purpose went from son to carer to patient. Both my parents lost their lives when I was 17. And I was soon to follow if it had not been for him. Looking back on it now I wonder what would have happened had I not been ill. If my family had avoided the illness. Where would of my life been there? I'll never know as that is no longer an option for me in this current life.
Purpose. It was a simple word. I was a happy bachelor. I had no interest in the woman throwing themselves at me so I rebuffed them. I was a good son. I hadn't slipped up since I had come back. Brother, as much as I was a son first to Esme & Carlisle I became a brother to my siblings. We trusted each other and were a family. If Carlisle hadn't changed Rosalie would Emmett be here? If Alice didn't have visions? If Jasper had not trusted Alice? Where would we have been? But I am glad that it happened.
Purpose. It was a simple word. I was a fiancée. I had the woman of my dreams willing to be with me forever. I was a good son. I became more light-hearted according to everyone around me. Fiancée, how I managed to still end up with Bella I'll never know but I am grateful I did. We would be married soon and after she would join me in Vampirazism. I thanked God, for the first time since my transformation, for Bella coming to Forks. There were so many factors. Each which could have so easily changed which would have prevented us meeting. If we weren't destiny I wasn't sure what was.
Purpose. It was a simple word. I am a husband, a father, a son, a sibling & a friend. I never thought I would be a father but Bella gave me the chance risking her life in the process. Nessie, the miracle child, united us in ways we had never imagined. If you had told me 7 years ago we would have at least 1 wolf living with us I would of told you you had the wrong family. But that is our reality. I try to fill my many rolls to the best I can. And with the Volturi behind us I have also become better acquainted with the other vampires out there.
Purpose. It is a simple word. Having a purpose motivates you & makes you feel worthwhile. It has been just over 100 years in the making but I finally have figured out my purpose. It is to be me.
Looking back on the entries I realise just how much my family has changed. It went from Carlisle and I, with Esme joining us. We then had Rosalie and Emmett causing tension but also hilarious amusement and a real brother and sister for me. Jasper & Alice (Alice literally) skipped in to our lives. Making the blood-lust worse but their personalities completely compensated for it and we became a family of 7. Then Bella came along and managed to add in another load of family. We are in regular contact with Bella's immediate family. And now that Sue and Charlie are together we are by marriage related to the Quileutes. Although there are some that will never completely trust we have hope for the younger generation. Alice loves making their wardrobes but even without that she just loves people. Jasper, Sam & Carlisle have bonded over the pressures of being a leader. Esme & Emily are now best friends. I see so much likeness between the 2 families that everyone had their counter-part. But if you had told me in 1917 what my life would be like I would have told you you were crazy. But now I am perfectly content with my life and plan to live it.
