Dear Diary
So, apparently my mom had exchanged her soul for me. At least that's what Eric says when he showed me that note today. It was just a piece of paper with "One for another." written on it so how can he know? Nobody has seen my mom for almost 4 years now, she could be wherever.
That's not really the birthday present I had in mind... but I guess it's a big deal? Eric probably had a good reason to wait to tell me until I've turned 6 (everyone in the town refers to me as 12 though, I guess it's in human years???). Maybe I wouldn't have understood it if I was younger. But to be honest, I don't really understand it now, either. If all, I'm angry at mom to not stay with me. I can barely even remember her! And according to aunt Siggy she wasn't a good person, anyway. Very mean and violent and stupid. That doesn't really sound like someone I would want as a mom. Eric is so much better at this job, he cares for me and I can come to him when I have any problems. Eric is a great mom, even if I've never told him that. Because that sounds stupid.
Anyway, I think I'll keep this one short. I still have some birthday cake to eat and some homework to do (UGH, on my birthday??? AXEL, WHY?!).
See you later!
Yours Dakky
