Dear Diary:
May 30
We got out of school for the summer today. I'll miss my friends, but I'm happy that summer's here. I'm especially happy because even though I just saw Sarah, I get another visit soon. She promised and my dad already agreed. That is, if I behave up until the time I get to visit. Which I will.
I'm being allowed to visit over the fourth of July. Sarah, Harm, and I are going to a picnic together at Harriet and Bud's house. At least, that's the plan for now. They're letting me stay for two weeks. Dad thought it was too long, but Sarah convinced him that she really wanted to see me and have some time for just us girls. And she also said that it would take exactly two weeks for us to get in all the "girl time" we need. So dad's agreed.
Harm said he'd take me up in his plane. It's the coolest thing. The plane is also called Sarah, after his grandmother. We're going to go in the afternoon the first few days I'm there. I'm already wishing it could be for longer, but I don't want to take too much time away from her and Harm.
It's only been a week since they got together, but already I can see how close they are again. I talked on the phone with Sarah this afternoon. She called right after school so we could talk about my upcoming visit and to see how the last day of school was.
I've been thinking about the mentoring program that Sarah and I got to know each other through. I've heard they can use teenagers as well. I'm going to see if I can do that when I'm older. I want to do something for the other kids out there like Sarah has done for me.
Enough of this though. It's a Wednesday, but some of my friends invited me to go to the movies with them in celebration of being out of school. It's already eight o'clock, and the movie starts at eight thirty, so I better put this away. But I'll update in a few days.
Love,
Chloe
