The End

That was the final post for Ada's five year diary. She has other diaries that I will post, but I'm taking a break for awhile.
The following year (1920) Ada does not keep a diary. It was a very sad year for her. Marion, her close friend, and sister in law - wife of Fred Grimshaw  - dies in childbirth. I think Ada must have been devastated.
And then later that year, Ada loses a baby boy at birth - in a very traumatic manner.
Her next diary (1921) alludes to the sadness of losing the baby - and the belief that "E" blames her for the loss.
Later diaries that I have of hers are happier.
I'll probably start up again on January 1st, 2016. Thanks for following, those of you who have been, and see you next year.
