By the gods...
My dad's alive...
He showed up two days ago.
After ten years, he comes back?... Just like that? He even told me he'd been in Gondor, but felt it better that I kept thinking he was dead... then told me he couldn't write... which somewhat explains the lack of a letter... He later told me the reasons why he didn't have someone write for him, and why he didn't send a courier.
At least he said he didn't expect me to let him back in so easily... I explained some of what had gone on in the last ten years, including Mom's leaving for Rohan and passing in Snowbourne...
He met *a large, thick scratch covers what was once here*; likes him too, from the sound of it. That's a good thing, right?
I even told my dad that I'd been adopted... Both of my dads have met each other, seem to get along very well... another good thing, I think...
My dad also met Dal, but... Dal doesn't like him very much... Understandable why, but... at least Dal was honest about his not liking my dad.
Oh yeah... I'm stressed out beyond belief... At least Zuil's party was a success. But now her wedding has yet to happen--tomorrow, at that!--and a dinner party the night after on the following day... and then Mom's birthday... On top of all of this, a new sickness, called 'The Sweat', has been making rounds in Bree... of which Rick and *a large, thick scratch covers what was once here* have fallen ill from.
Yeah, my husband and brother-in-law caught it... I'm... I'm incredibly worried over them. I... I can't lose them... I want to be there for them, be at their sides until they got better... but I can't risk catching it...
I can't risk getting sick and putting the baby in jeopardy because I was too stubborn to leave my husband's and brother-in-law's sides...
I'm thankful *a large, thick scratch covers what was once here* kept the little one and I in mind... he... ended up making me leave home until he got better... which is understandable... but I miss him... I can't help but worry over him. He's the love of my life and with such a serious illness...
I'm scared I'm going to lose him... I can't lose him... I can't lose my happiness...
What am I going to do, if The Sweat claims my husband?...
