The snow won't stop falling, so Dad said he'd stay here with me until it stops. He'll probably leave again when it does, so I kinda hope it snows forever.

Today Popola sent me a new book about a great big tree. I really hope it has a happy ending. There's nothing worse than a sad tree.

Devola and Popola came to keep me company today. They even sang a song for me! It was really great! I need to practice so I can sing to Dad when he gets back.

I'm gonna learn to make awesome food for Dad. I better start working on a new secret recipe.

Once I finish my secret dish, I'm gonna feed it to Dad! Then he'll see how helpful I can be.

The boy who's always running around outside gave me a super pretty flower today! I wonder if Popola knows what it's called?

Today is Dad's birthday, but he's not here. So I just had a party by myself!

Dad said he would come back home for my birthday, but I want to celebrate his birthday once in a while!

The flower wasn't in any of Devola's books, so she said I could name it whatever I want. Maybe I'll name it after Dad!

I guess a Shade came near the village today. People kept coming up to me and saying "Boy, we sure wish your father was around!" And I said, "Me too! Dad could kick the Shade's butt!"

Got a letter from Dad today! He's in a far-away town where he can see the ocean. I hope I can see the ocean someday. I bet it's huge!

I wish I could meet the Kainé lady Dad told me about. I bet she's really nice and always says nice things. I wonder if that's what my mom was like?

I was tired today, so I stayed home and hid in the bed. I could still hear Devola's singing from somewhere, though. Listening to her always makes me happy.

Devola and Popola went back home. That made me lonely, so I ran around singing songs as loud as I could. But then that got kinda weird and scary, so I stopped.

The village is buzzing with excitement and stuff today! I dunno what happened, but Devola told me not to worry. At first I thought it was a festival, but now I don't know.

Whenever I read a letter from Dad, I really feel like I need to see him again.

I write Dad letters every single day. He always worries about me, but I feel fine.

I wish Dad would send me letters every day like I do. But I know he's busy, so every other day is okay.

In the book, the big tree kept on waiting and waiting. I have to wait a lot, too. I wish I could do something.

Today Devola said that Kainé is "put together in all the right places". I don't know what all of that means, but I wanna be like that when I grow up!

Dad came back! He came back to see me! Yaaaay Dad!

Dad left pretty quickly. He said he just stopped by so he could see my face.

These black marks keep showing up on my body. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to turn into a goblin or something, but thinking about it makes my stomach hurt, so I try not to.
