"Did you go trick-or-treating last night?" My grandmother asked.
"Haha, no Grandma, I think I might be a little too old for that now."
"Oh." She looked disappointed, and I feel like I've let her down somehow, that maybe I should pretend I am whatever age she wants me to be. "Are you having a happy life?"
"Um...." Am I? What a big question to be asked so casually.
"One day at a time." She says to me assuredly. "And you will have a happy life."
She's 98, she should know.
