Notice!

I'm giving up my blog. Jo's taken an interest in blogging and I'm going to let her take it up. Besides, I'm a little bored anyway. I mean, I'm just Beth. Jo's a lot more interesting. But don't worry! You'll still here of me-and maybe even from me-on Jo's blog. Here's the link!

Christmas

Hello! This is Beth! It's Chrismas, and I feel well again! Jo and Laurie made a snowman for me! Then, from Mr. Brook and the Laurnce's, Father! I ran to him and huged him. Oh, what a great Christmas indeed.
Dinner was great, with a big turkey that hannah fixed up. Then he told us about how much we had changed since he last saw us. I supposed he's right. We have changed. After that, I played piano and sang.

Jo~~~~~Mother~~~~~Love!

Mother returned! She won't leave Beth's side now. Mr. Brook will look after Father, and everything will be fine! Laurie told Aunt March and Amy about Beth's recovery. Mother and I talked about Mr. Brook-John-and Meg. Mr. Brook likes Meg and wants to marry her! I don't know if Meg likes him back, though. You see, love is so complicated!
Meg got a love letter from "Mr. Brook" but I think it was from Laurie. It was like his writing. But Meg replied to Mr. Brook! He replied and said that he never sent a love letter. :-(

This is still Jo!

I'm constantly afraid that Beth is dead and that no one told me. When I went to check on her at two in the morning while Hannah was asleep, I thouoght she was dead, since she didn't look sick anymore. It turns out that she was getting better, not dying! We were so happy, and Meg showed me the little white rose that she had meant to give to Beth if she had "gone away from us." but now she'll put it in a vase and let it be the first thing she sees when she wakes.
And then, to top all that, Mother came home!

Beth's sick

Hi! This is Jo. Beth is sick with Scarlet Fever, so she can't really type now. So I'll keep you
updated on whats going on in life!

Beth is quite ill. She sleeps for most of the day now, and she just says things that don't make sense. She doesn't look like my Beth. The doctor told us to send for Mother. I sent the telegram and then Laurie gave me a message saying that Father is getting better. I told him about how Beth is doing, then I broke down crying. He held me and then he told me that yesterday he sent for Mother and that Mr. Brook said that she'd come. She'll be here tonight! Thank you so much, Laurie!

Scarlet Fever, oh no!

Jo caught a cold since her hair is short now, so I had to go to the Hummel family alone. I've been going like Mother asked me to. Amy was supposed to come with me, but she never came down. I decided to go alone. (What a mistake to go at all!)
When I came home, I felt ill. Jo found me sitting on the medicine chest. I asked her if she ever had scarlet fever then told her that one of the Hummel children had died. While I was there, the doctor told me that I'd get it if I didn't take some medicine. Hannah told us that Amy should leave since she never had it and that Jo should stay with me for the next few days. Amy wasn't very happy to leave, but she eventually did. Oh, I do hope I'll get well soon!

Goodbye, Mother!

Marmee left today. :-( And then Meg and Jo had to go to the King's and Aunt March! :-( We wrote letters to her, since we miss her already. My letter was short, since there wasn't much room. I put in  some pressed flowers and told her that I've been doing what she asked of me. Oh, Mother, if you're reading this, please kiss father on the cheek the moment he gets well.
