the way of a pilgrim. (salinger had it right.)

so i talked to my grandaddy grant today. he has been having a hard time since my grandmother died, but also kind of doing ok, too. My dad, al, moved him to to a nice assisted living place. al, (aka, “G”, aptly named by his grandson, my son-) painstakingly thought about this decision for months. it’s been hard. yeah. and now my grandfather seems to me to have given up. heartbreaking for me…words don’t matter in this context. there are no words to explain these feelings; they just are. he doesn’t have to give up. i know him very well. it is a decision he is making/has made. so i went ahead and made a decision to go thrifting. i bought this nightgown yesterday. “Travel-Lite” by Boutique is the label, late 60’s, early 70’s probably.

grandma sarah would really like it, i think.
