My mom stopped by my grandparents condo yesterday after she dropped me off at Steph's grad party and when she came home today she told me that she had something special for me from my grandpa. Of course I was all like "WTF, why?" and then she pulls out this big ugly red shiny thing and it's all folded up and I'm like "WTF is that?" and apparently I had a sort of disgusted face on and she frowns and opens it up. It's a huge red robe with Japanese scroll work, a geisha girl standing at a bridge, flowers and a temple pattern. It sounds busy but it's not, it's gorgeous. Oh, and did I mention that it's real silk and from his tour in Japan during the war and that he had been saving it for my birthday but forgot to give it to me because it was packed away and because we were more worried about getting me a car and whatnot?

Yeah, thanks grandpa.
Never thought I'd break down and cry over a fucking robe before.
Way to add a new experience to my life >> crying over bath apparel.

I love you.
I hope you're doing well.
