Dear diary:
I am writing now because I feel really lonely. I don't write frequently because I am too old and my hands hurt me. But I feel so useless that I need to do something for my family instead of knitting all day long. I am blue because I am noticing that the relationship I have with my family is broken. Maybe because I am not as good as before.
When my family comes to my house on Sundays I feel really enthusiastic and happy because once I am with them I enjoy it. I tried to knit as much as possible to give to my grandsons presents so as they came often, but they didn't. I think they didn't like it because they say to me that there is no need, that I need to rest, but I need to feel useful.
When they left my house on Sunday evening, I went to my window to wave at them.
When I was a girl I was a fisher girl, mother of six children and I helped my husband. Maybe for all those things I did before, now I feel useless. Because all I do in the day is to knit and on Sundays meet with my family and they tell me I need to rest.
I want to have a good relationship with my family and to feel useful. I hope this could change.
Grandma
