June 9th: Happy Birthday, Wai gong

Dear Diary

Today is Wai Gong's Birthday, little book. I don't know his exact age, but I do know that he is really old. I hope he is having a good day. I really miss him. The way I could get him to smile and how he would stand on his staff just so we could be eye to eye. We never really agreed on much, but I really miss him. We have a little over 2 months before we reach Stone City. I really thought I escaped that place for good. I'm so sorry Ming Hua. I wish we didn't have to go back there.
