Dear Diary An Introduction

It’s been four years since my world fell apart. I remember the chaos as if it were yesterday. The craziness started with the evening news mentioning several patients at the local hospital were sick with a respiratory virus. A day or two later, my father came home from work and said the hospital was under quarantine.

My friends and I didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation. We jumped for joy when school administrators closed our school because of illness. I loved my teacher Mrs. Schmidt but thrilled to be free of homework for at least a week. I never did return to school.

Yours Truly,
Madie
