Dear Diary,
Today….t-today is not a good day. Mama’s not coming home. “Auntie” Harley said mama has something called brain cancer. I dunno what that is but the way she said it was kinda scary. She sounded so sad. I went to the hospital with her and mama didn’t look like mama. She looked so sick. She was pale, but when she saw me, she smiled so big! It made me sad to see her like this. Daddy was still at work so he didn’t visit her or come home that night, so I stayed with “Auntie” Harley (she not my real auntie, she my mama's best friend) for the night and she let me eat ice-cream on her pull-out couch bed! That was cool I guess. I can’t help but worry for my mama though diary.
I do got some good news though! I made a new friend at school! Her name’s Stormy Night. She’s a cross-breed between a Bat Pony and a Pegasus. She’s my age and really funny! She even shared some of her lunch with me because I didn't have a lunch today (forgot to make myself one last night). She’s cool and she even showed me some flight tricks she’s been working on. I showed her a trick I’ve perfected on my skateboard. I asked her why both her parents were bat ponies, but she’s only half bat pony. She told me that her mama got into some trouble before she was born and got hurt bad. Soon enough her mama was pregnant with her (and yes, I know what “to be pregnant” means. It’s when a grown mare grows a foal in her tummy. My aunt Twister told me that when she was having my baby cousin last year). She told me the stallion that hurt her mama was a Pegasus. I’m glad she has her parents who are nice. I met them a couple days ago when they was dropping Stormy off at school. Okay I got off topic talkin’ about Stormy. My mama has to stay in the hospital for a lot longer than we thought. Daddy’s barely been home. If he’s not at “work” than he’s at the hospital or out with some of my “uncles”. When he is home, he barely pays attention to me anymore. I hope things get better soon. I gotta go now. I gotta do my homework than eat dinner.
Love,
