A Piece By Grandma.

Today we left the dear old farm. The farm that we had everything on, the town that Will and I grew up on and lived on most of our life. Everything we had is here, why did we have to leave? Will and I had no choice but to leave, the family have to stay together and to be honest Will and I can’t cope on our own. California is a long way and when we get there we don’t even know if there is work for us. So many people are traveling, doing the same as us but can California hold all of us? Will and I are old, fragile and need looking after all the time. Back on the farm people can do that, someone will be around all the time, but how do we know if that’s the same in California, it might be completely different. How do we know if Will and I will even make it to California? Is it too much of a risk for us to go?
