My grandmother’s house on January 2nd, 2009. I had just come back from Japan and was visiting her after Christmas.

Yesterday my sister told me that my grandmother feels she can’t die just yet because we still need her help. I don’t know what else to say except that she isn’t wrong.

Also, sorry to get sentimental, but I would give up everything in my life to go back to that day and be with her in that house again.

I was just thinking that to get anywhere in this life, the first step is to be an asshole— or at least pretend to be one—in front of the right people.
