Journal
I am thinking about
my family; my spouse and my children and how they are going to live without
me. As I sign the declaration I am
thinking about how my children will live if I am killed for signing the
Declaration. I am also thinking about if
the Declaration of Independence works out and how my family will be well off in
a free country. There is the fact that I
might be dead, but it is more important that they live their lives freely. I am quite afraid of dying, but I do think
that it is all worth my signature. I am
also thinking about the possibility that I will not die. There is a slight chance that this country
will be free and I will still be alive when we are free. The thought of freedom keeps my hand on the
paper; the thought keeps my hand writing my signature. I am also thinking about the future lives of
the free Americans who should always thank God that we are a free country.
