I’ve been watching over Gene, I’m concerned that he is going to take this whole situation harshly since we did not have the best last couple of days together. He seems to be okay. It is June and people are arriving at Devon. Brinker brings up his father to meet Gene. When Mr. Hadley and Gene were talking I learned something new about Gene. He told Mr. Hadley, “I’ve joined the Navy and their sending me to Pensacola.” This was new to me I have been watching over Gene but not enough to know that he has made this decision. At this moment I felt a sense of pride run over me like Gene was my own son. Gene then informed me about something else as well. He said to Mr. Hadley, “And then Brinker, is all set for the Coast Guard, which is good too.” What Mr. Hadley said next made me realize that he wasn’t such a bad guy. For some reason I did not think that Mr. Hadley would be the nice type of guy. He said to Gene and Brinker, “We’re all proud of you, and we’re all-old guys like me-we’re all darn jealous of you too.” At this point Brinker got embarrassed by his dad so after he left he apologized to Gene. Gene did not seem bothered by all of this conversation. After it all he headed to the gym.
The weird thing is that I can sense what Gene is feeling and thinking. Gene feels envy towards me because he feels as though I never could hate anyone he thinks that’s what made me so special. I don’t see the point in hating somebody it uses up to much energy when you can be putting your energy to a greater use. This is also another reason why I am proud of Gene he enlisted in the war because he felt as though he had gotten rid of all his hate. After watching over gene in the war I noticed that he never even killed a man. I respect him for that, maybe he is the same as me after all.
I have never been in such peace. I feel like what happened to me was all part of my destiny. I would do nothing to change it. I blame nobody but myself for what happened to me. Gene should not feel any guilt.
