Dear Diary,
I am very upset and disappointed today. I was informed by my parents in the morning that my grandfather was dead. It was terrible news. I was shocked as it was unexpected news. But more shocking was the behaviour of my parents especially my mother. She turned out to be a materialistic lady who was more concerned about the bureau and the clock in grandfather’s room rather than my dead grandfather. I had never thought that my parents, uncle and aunt could be so greedy. Today I found that each one of them was only interested in the benefits that they could get after grandfather’s death rather than the old man himself. I am disillusioned by their materialistic attitude. Why don’t they realise the importance of fatherly affection and love ? I love my grandfather and thank God that he is not dead. I always look towards him whenever I’m troubled. His experience and knowledge always help me to come out smoothly from my problems. I hope ma, pa and others will soon understand the value of parents’ love and give grandpa his due regard and respect in the future.
Victoria
