October 7th, 2002: Missing Mom

Dear Diary,

Sorry for lazing out on my updating this thing. I just kind of lost interest in it, you know?

Anyway, I still can't convince Hannah to move out here. She refuses to leave Oakdale. I guess she really misses Mom. So do I.

I think we all do. Life has felt so empty without Mom around for the last ten years.

July 10th, 1992. Mom's been gone for ten long years.

I remember all the things that Mom did with Hannah and me. Like when we'd go bowling, out for ice cream, to the movies, the way we played "Clue" every Tuesday night.

I miss all of that. Dad never did anything with me or Hannah after Mom's death. He just worked. Worked, worked, worked. He never even asked how Hannah and I felt after Mom died.

I miss Mom so much. But she's gone. Oh god, I'm tearing up. I have to go now.

RIP, Mom. I love you…

Love, Roxanne
