Diary entry

In the class of L/L Writing we wrote a diary entry as if we were the grandmother of a poem we read in Literature.

Dear diary,
Today was a terrible day!
It started at 6am, very early because the noises next to my house were bothering very much. After having a poor breakfast I had no better idea than knitting, actually, that's the only thing I enjoy nowadays, even though my hands hurt.
Then, I went to my daughter's house to visit the only family I have. I took with me the things I knitted for my grandchildren, being sure they would love those things and the fact I'm always thinking about them.
But in the moment I arrived, all my sudden happiness disappeared. When they saw me with the bags full of handmade clothes, my grandchildren's smiles went down, they just didn't want to take what I've made for them. Neither did my daughter. They said it wasn't necessary for me to knit. I asked them why they kept telling me that, and the only thing they repeated was "Because there is no need".
That phrase made me remember my teen years, when I used to be a fisher-girl. Those were difficult times. It was extremely necessary for all of us to knit! Clothes shortages were a common thing and the only thing I could do to help was knitting.
People have changed a lot, they don't value old people like it was done in my times.
Hope next time I see them things get better.
