<div class="text-justify">

Make the last attempt. It is useless. His hands are no longer as strong as before. Turning the coffee pot has become impossible. Mrs. Daisy feels upset and sad. 

From the kitchen she calls out for Robert, her grandson, who now lives with her. But the boy has a knack for not being there when he is needed, especially when Daisy wants to make a cup of coffee.

In Robert's absence you can always bother Rachel, the neighbor down the hall. She is a little younger than Daisy and still has the strength to open and close the coffee pot. 

Daisy puts in a measure and a half of coffee, pours a cup of water into a glass jar and walks to Rachel's door. On her way back she holds the coffee pot with both hands. She turns on the stove and when the steam stops rising, she fills her cup. The smell intoxicates her, she thinks of the times when she was young...and with small sips she slowly savors the bitter liquid she has enjoyed all her life.

In the evening she receives a visit from her son, Robert's father, who brings her great news: he has finished the restoration of the country house where they used to spend long periods of time. Daisy is happy and asks him to take her to spend a few days...

Not now, mother," replies her son, "let's wait three weeks for Robert to finish high school. Then he will be able to take care of you during the days you are there...

Daisy is looking forward to going to the country again, she needs a change of environment, the days in her apartment are endless, although the truth is that since Robert is there, she is a little more distracted...

Robert, you should be nicer to me...why does it cost you so much to prepare my coffee if you know that I can't...Grandma, you should use a more practical coffee pot, one of those modern ones, where you don't have to uncover anything. Just put in a prepared mixture, plug it in and that's all... It's very easy...

But Robert... It is not the same... One of the things that old age has not damaged is my sense of taste. I am almost ninety years old and I am able to distinguish a coffee brewed in a bag, in the greca and in those modern machines you mention. Believe me when I tell you that it's not the same...At my age one of the things I like is to have a good coffee prepared in my greca...But I need you to help me because I can no longer....


Okay...grandma, the boy answers without much conviction...

At the end of the grandson's classes, Daisy's son kept his promise. The cottage was completely restored and with some adaptations that facilitated the old lady's mobility. All the stairs had been replaced with ramps. And a long path paved with fine gravel and dotted with wooden benches stretched for several miles across the grounds. Daisy could walk alone without any risk...

Daisy strolled every morning and afternoon along the new path. She enjoyed sitting on the benches to listen to the chirping of the birds and watch the swaying of the leaves on the trees.

There was only one detail that kept upsetting her, the time to drink her coffee. There was no way for Robert to take it into account, the boy only thought about himself, he spent most of his time hiding anywhere playing video games on his cell phone. Sometimes the old lady would go almost the whole day without taking even a small sip. 

The grandmother kept nagging the grandson, but the boy didn't care.

Once Robert went so far as to hide Grandma's coffee. When Daisy asked him to make her a cup, the boy replied that there was no more. The old lady knew very well that her son had left a sufficient supply of coffee until he returned again...

The old woman weighed her options, she did not want to bother her son by asking him to make a trip just to bring more coffee. She remembered that among the improvements made to the house was an automated system that worked with voice commands and served, among other things, to turn off the electricity. Only she and her son knew the code.

The next morning Daisy activated the command and the power went out in the house. She went out for her usual walk. On her way back she found Robert grumpy, he had used up his cell phone battery and there was no way to charge it...

Grandma... you know what happened to the electricity. Maybe something similar to what happened with the coffee, Daisy answered...

Night came and the darkness was total, Daisy locked herself in her room and enjoyed looking at the starry sky through the window. Robert was terrified. Since he was a child he had been terrified of the dark and out there in the field the sounds outside made his imagination fill with menacing creatures. At midnight the boy was crying inconsolably, calling loudly for his grandmother, but the old woman resisted the temptation to comfort him... Until exhaustion overcame the boy.

The next morning Daisy went for her usual walk, tired from the bad night the grandson had put her through. On her way back she smelled a familiar odor. She walked into the kitchen and there was Robert, with teary eyes offering her a cup of coffee. Grandma set it aside and hugged the grandson. Thinking that maybe the boy had learned his lesson...

Thank you for your time.</div>

That was a great outcome I think. If you can't hear you must "feel", right? Nicely done 👍

Yes, sometimes you have to move from words to action. Good thing Ms. Daisy had a good memory and didn't forget the command, hahaha. Thanks so much for stopping by and for the support. Be well my dear @millycf1976 . A big hug from Maracay.

It was a really lovely story, I love Daisy's attitude of standing firm so that her grandson would learn his lesson, not all grandmothers have that firmness.
