Dear Journal,

Today is July 4th. Jamie asked again if we're doing something for Independence Day. Why celebrate the independence day of a country that doesn't exist anymore? Whatever, it meant something to him. I got some cake for him. Turns out it's also his birthday. He's turning 13. He felt really touched by what I did when I wished him happy birthday and wrote that out of frosting. I don't understand why, but it meant a lot to him. The cake was stale anyway.

Independence Day means nothing. I'm making sure to write this down to preserve human history, but in the end it means nothing. No matter what happens, a birthday is important. The world can fall apart, as long as someone is alive, someone will have a birthday. That's special.

It's still early, so I'm gonna sign off for now.

Dear Journal,

What Leon did for me... it really means a lot. He doesn't know why its so important to me. Back when everyone was here and human, my birthday was not important. Only mom cared. The others only cared about the holiday. It was nice to have my birthday mean more than the holiday. Even if I don't really know him.

I miss mom, but I am happy that Leon is here to help look after me. He really does his best to look after me. He's a good with order, and pretty smart, but not a people person. He's not good with me on a deep level. It's the thought that counts I guess.

Dear Journal,

You wouldn't believe what happened. Jamie and I went out to look at the stars (it may be a city, but when the power goes off all across the city the stars are much more quality) and a firework shot into the air. Multiple of them! A whole damn ton of them! The sky lit up. I jokingly told Jamie that there were exploding candles for him to blow out for his birthday. He had earlier told me it was his birthday. He laughed at that. It was nice.

I wonder if that's Martha setting off the fireworks. I'll find her yet. I promise
