If I get married, I’ll keep a “newlywed diary” filled with 365 days of memories — birthday surprises, anniversary gifts, and sweet little moments with my husband, all captured in photos, showing his cuteness and charm.
If I have a child, I’ll write a one-year parenting diary and give it as a gift when they become an adult.
And before I leave this world, I’ll write my final diary — a story of my spectacular rollercoaster life as a mom, full of ups and downs like an amusement park ride.
