Monday, November 7, 1977 I am still getting letters from Nick as if we never broke up. Today I got a letter from him telling me he has moved out of his parent’s house, and he was waiting to get baptized because he wanted me to be there. He pleaded with me to give him…

Sunday, June 19, 1977 Nick drove me to the airport and helped me find the gate where I was to board the plane heading for Denmark. When it was time to part, we both cried. I assured him time would go by fast and before we knew it, I would be back. No one knew…

Monday, May 23, 1977 It’s been two weeks since Sander has moved. He still has not called to tell me where he is. I just don’t understand. Doesn’t he know I worry about him, and that he is the only family I have here in Canada? Tuesday, May 24, 1977 When I came back from school,…

Wednesday, May 4, 1977 I got a letter from Mom and Elisabeth. Elisabeth wrote she has lost six teeth since I left Denmark. I miss her so much. I wish I was there to see her grow and change. Thursday, May 5, 1977 After school, I went to visit Sander. I asked if I could please…

Friday, March 25, 1977 Today in school, there was an announcement over the loudspeaker. We were reminded that we were off for spring break all next week.

Friday, December 24, 1976 I got a letter from Mom. She had sent me $25.00 for Christmas. I am grateful for the much-needed money. I felt bad I had not gotten it in time to buy anyone anything for Christmas. Then I realized I would need this money to buy personal products for myself. Saturday, December…

Sunday, October 31, 1976 Mom never used to go to church very much, but she seems to be taking a liking to this small branch here in Skive. November 1-15, 1976 I spent the next two weeks doing chores. Dropping and picking Elisabeth up, to and from school, and taking care of her while mom…

Thursday, October 7, 1976 When I rode my bike to the Thompsons this morning, I decided that I was going to tell Mrs. Thompson that I would be going back to Canada next month. I didn’t want to go on deceiving her. I got there at 7:00 a.m. and all morning I struggled with myself to find…

Monday, September 20, 1976 I got off from work at 7:00 p.m. I dreaded going back to the house. I can’t consider it my home, especially since Bent makes it clear that I am not welcome there. Tuesday, September 21, 1976 (Elisabeth’s 5th Birthday) I am off work for the next few days because my doctor…

Sunday, September 5, 1976 Mom told me that she has written up the letter that she wants Nick to sign and then she added that she wanted Nick’s dad and Nick’s uncle to sign it too. I could understand if she wanted his mom and dad to sign it, but not his uncle. I asked,…
