life

Tonight my parents came by for dinner, mostly to see Hana. Mark has been away all week for work, so it was just me, Hana, and my parents. Hana was showing off like crazy, which was very cute. She loves the attention. She is so happy playing with my father. It's really a touching sight. You can see how much fun she's having, and how much my father appreciates it. After she went to bed, my parents and I had some tea and tasty cookies from Bouchon bakery. They mentioned that my gradnmother is having a few tests done tomorrow on her brain. She's experiencing extreme short term memory loss, and it's really sad to hear about it. I'm hopeful that the tests reveal that a certain drug would help her, but I'm also doubtful. But I guess it's always difficult to see the people you love chang in negative ways. My grandmother always puts on a brave face, but I wonder what she's really feeling...or if she's feeling anything at all about it. As my parents left the apartment, I watched them walk down the hallway, and thought that one day that will be Mark and myself, leaving Hana's place. I cannot imagine what it will be like! I was feeling sad about my grandmother, and just pensive about life in general, so I went into Hana's room and watched her sleep. That always makes things so much better.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I thought this post was so insightful, and it really touched my heart! ..esp I had a similar experience with my grandpa. Hang in there! Let's go get some macarons at Bouchon soon.
