dear jurnal

I just saw my baby boy. he looks just like his mother. he is 2 years old and i am 28 years old his mother is the same age as me. we were just discusing weather or not we want to move to the west i have become very rich probly even richer than my father we probly wont but i am thinking to send my son there in 1816 that way he could marry and have a family to take with him. i have earned my way in whaling. i curently own 20 whaling ships. my crews get paid as regular workers for every whale thay catch they each get twenty dollars. its a good life. my wife and i have followed my fathers foot steps in the way that we do not flont our wealth. we live very confertably and have one child. i plan to have at least one more hopefully a girl. you know to soften up my little anthony. anthony is my little boys name. HE IS A HANDFULL! but i love him and his mother lucy. yes i got my one true love just like i said i would. well one of my three last wishes is for my son to move to the west when he is 28 with his family. my next wish is for when he does to take all the money i saved for him to buy the necessary supplies as not to get in trouble with the native tribes since there is no law out there. my last wish is for him to live a very, very, very happy life with his family. when i die i leeve every thing to him and lucy if she is still alive. you may ask why i am saying this well its beause i dont know when i will die so i just want to be prepared.

dear jurnal

today i will return to my home. Though I am exsided about seeing my family again I am also sad about leaving the crew behind. Over the last year they have become very close and are like  a family to me. Icant wait to see how beautifull my lucy has become. when i see her that is when i will prepose. after the first month of sailing i found that being a whaler is very rewarding i now have an extremely fit and muscular body and i am very tall. id say 6 feet at least. Well today is the last day of my trip so i am going to enjoy it with the crew we planned a party and there will be food wine and women though i will not pay attaintion to them because my heart belongs to another. we will dance sing and have alot of fun and we each have a suprise for one another. today will be a fine day that it will. I got every person a different bottle of rum. since theyre all old enough to drink.(even tough i sneek a sip once in awhile.) when i get back i will propose to my best friend lucy. I saved enough money to buy a very, very good ring and all i can do is hope that the store owneer still hase the darne thing. that is what i plan to do and I can not wait untill tomarrow mornig.

dear jurnal my name is rebert j, reynalds. today i found that my father john jacob, reynalds has put forth an aplication for my first job. my first job is apparently to be a cabin boy on a whaling ship for one year. i was very angry with father for this and found that i left for my one year trip tomarrow. so i figured that if i must go that i would confess my love for one lucy l, gustaph. who so happens to be my best friend. the reason for my leaving is to my suprise to be about learning the value of money wich is not to buy things with apparently. so if i am leaving tomarrow then i will enjoy my last day with lucy. i told lucy to meet with me behind the old olk tree by my house. then when she arrived i told her what was to happen for the next year. she looked very sad. but when i told her that i have been in love with her since the very first time i saw her she grabed my hand and said that she loved me to and that was when i kessed her for the very first time she seemed to enjoy it greatly we spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what would happen when i got back. we carved our names into the great old oak and said our final goodbyes. the next morning she and my family came to the docks to wish me farwell and a happy safe trip. i said my final goodbyes and said fairwell to my family then i met the captain of the ship who was named abe smith. he seemed very scary at first but seemed to be nice to every person on his crew.then i set off into the setting sun on the whaling ship named the merry bell.

               dear jurnal today the town docter told me that i was not meant for this earth for much longer. I personally knew my time was coming soon. when i look outside i see my great grand children playing and having fun they were my prize and joy. when i look back i have only one regret. the one regret that i have is  that my wife and daughter passed before me my wife died two years ago and my daughter died last month. my son is in his age and is enjoying being a grandfather my grandchildren and great grand children are named luis, mary, john and robert they are the best thing that i lived to see. tomorow i will pass and be gone from this world. but hopefully my spirit will live in my decendents. i love my family and i had a very eventfull life i never left the side of god and i always taught my cildren the prayrs and the word of the bible. my children were my greatest achievement and theres is there children. the cycle will never end but hopefully it might get better. so to my family goodbye and have a holy eventfull and unregretable life.

          Dear jurnal I am the happiest man in the world right now the reason for this I will tell later. yesterday my wife was in the hospital for personall reasons when she went there i was at work writing and telling stories. that is when i found out that my wife had been hospitalized. I knew imidiatly what was wrong. I rushed to the hospital and found my wife breathing heavily the reason for her being hopitalized was that she went in to labor. thats write she was having my first born child. i was so overwhelmed with joy that i could not stop pacing and thinking. then the town docter came out and told me it was twins i was severily shocked. i asked shat gender they were he told me the first was a boy and the second was. are you ready it was a girl thats right i got my boy and marry got her girl. but when he told me i nearly fainted from the shock. that day i also found out that i was an uncle since november 3rd. my heart was overwhelmed with joy and happiness so i went and picked fresh flowers for my wife. she was happy to recieve them and she gave me a peck on the cheak. my day couldnt get any better but it did. what i found was nothing less than a mirical. i found my old pocket watch it was in my very first note book. The other day isold my sword for twenty dollars and was able to afford two cribs for my new born childrentoday was the best day of my life and nothing not man or beast not even the devil could take that away from me thank god I NOW HAVE A FAMILY.
