Date: 15-07-1990
Day: Sunday
Time: 9:00 p.m.

Dear Diary,

Today I felt very sad. I have no arms and legs. Sometimes I feel different from other children. They can run, play and do many things. I cannot do them easily.

I cried before my mother and told her that I wanted to end my life. I was afraid of my future. I wondered who would take care of me when my parents were not there.

My parents tried to comfort me. I hope one day I will become strong and happy.
