Today was a hard day! My family and I were traveling on the Trail of Tears. We have been forced from our dome shaped home! We walked for miles and miles in our moccasin shoes. I think I need some new ones! Our neighbor just couldn't make it anymore. She died early this morning. I am devastated! I wonder if I will make it to my home? If I do, I can't wait to play stickball with my friends and weave a basket with my mom.
