Dear Diary,
Biff and Willy are fighting again. It seems like every time he comes home Willy goes into fits. All he wants is the best for his sons, both of them, is that so hard to understand? I feel that Biff and Happy are too harsh on their father, he has worked his whole life to give them the best and yet they turn their backs on him when hard times arise. Willy does not make things much easier, his nightly exploits have worsened over the years. Sometimes I lay in bed wondering if I should just leave him out in the street, walking and talking with the wind. Perhaps this is what he wants. Perhaps then Willy can finally be content.

The boys have succeeded! Biff and Happy are finally businessmen, in tangent selling sporting goods. Oh what joy I have, oh what pride I have for my boys! Willy is thrilled as well, he instructs the boys daily on proper business etiquette, and though they may laugh at him now they will thank him in the future I am sure. I hope that maybe someday Willy can retire and spend his days in business with his sons. Though this may seem far-fetched now I believe it to be a necessity. I will make it a point to mention this tonight at dinner, if Willy allows. I wouldn't want to send him into fits again, I don't enjoy it when he slaps me.
