I should have saved that ‘Perpetual Disappointments Diary’ for this shit

I wasted that “Perpetual Disappointments Diary” in 2018. If only I had known that year would not be so bad, I could have saved that undated diary for 2020, which is officially the worst year ever.

His memory will carry on

When I was a young girl, my father failed to take me into the city to see a marching band. Yet despite his shortcomings, his memory will carry on.
