Journal of John Winchester (Supernatural)

1984

January 1: Today a new year begins. Mary loved this time of year; she loved the idea of a fresh start for everyone. She always made a resolution, one a year, and unlike most people, she kept hers. And every year she tried to talk me into making one, but I could never see the point. I wish I could have seen her diary. Maybe it would help me remember her. Maybe it would clue me in to some of her secrets. Maybe that's the point of a diary. Keep your stories, your life, from dying. So that other people don't forget. God I wish the boys could have known Mary longer. This year I'm finally making a resolution. I'm going to find out what happened to my wife and kill the Son of a Bitch.
