December 25, 1993
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Snow falling, bells ringing, but best of all, being with family. This Christmas was the best one in a long time because my sister, Ava, was able to be here. I love her so much but I barely get to see her because she's a successful fashion designer in California. I've very proud of her. But this year I was so happy because she also brought a man, Johnny, with her. She's the happiest I've seen her in a long time when she's with him. He makes her laugh and smile and she deserves that. I have a feeling he is truly the ONE for her. And if there's one thing I want for her., that's for her to be happy. Goodnight and God bless Ava, Johnny, and family.
Tears slid down Ava's face as she read this. All her sister ever wanted for her was to be happy. Her entire life she strove to be as good as her, but it was true that the only times she was TRULY happy was when she was with Johnny. He did make her laugh and smile. He turned tears into joy. But suddenly she heard a deep voice say, "Ava. . "from behind her. She immediately closed the diary and tried to wipe away her tears before she turned around and ended up face to face with Johnny. He sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her. He never did have to say anything to make me feel better, he just had to be there, she thought to herself as she rested her head on Johnny's shoulder. For a few minutes they just sat there, enjoying each other's company. Ava felt tears running down her cheek again, but realized that they weren't tears of sadness anymore. She loved just being with Johnny. Johnny looked over and saw her crying. He asked in his sexy, concerned voice, "Is everything all right?" "Everything's perfect." She said, trying to hold back any more tears. She just wanted to come right out and say, "Johnny I love you and want to be with you forever!" but somehow she couldn't bring herself to. Being assertive was never one of her strong suits. So they just sat there, snuggled up together.
