Day out w/ Grandma...
So today I went over to my Baba's house (Grandma). She hooked me up with some d-lish Ukrainian food..stuffed my face, as expected. No complaints from me! It was really nice to see her although I feel bad that shes so lonely. In a house all to herself. I mean she gets visits from people but shes there alone most of the time. She was soo excited to see me and I was of course excited to see her. Its refreshing to know that my spending even one day with her brightens her up..even if a little bit. Goes to show Dave's Quote is true in this particular case, "Turns out not where but who you're with that really matters."
She also took me shopping which was extremely thoughtful...I was living(which isnt that horriable) on onyl 2 pairs of jeans..one about to go so this shopping trip was benefical for sure! Its hard a little because there is such a generation gap and shes also Ukrainian but it manages to work out. Shes a wonderful person who always has nice things to say and tells me (in my opinion) fasinating stories. Hearing stories from her is like reading a book about history of the USSR or Survival Stories of German Camps during the war(not as drastic as consentration camps the Jews&others were placed in but basically work to survive is how it went). For example the story of her mother who for 25 years was trapped in the USSR and couldnt be with my grandma and her family in America. I couldnt imagine not seeing a loved one for that long and not being able to do anything about it. To know in that time she wasnt living the freedoms that her family came to America for. Its just interesting to me...my Baba's life.
On another note. I wish I was still friends with him. Its not as big of a hardship as it was before to me but from time to time I have sad thoughts about it that kind of drift by. It's just disapointing to hear one thing and not recieve it. Oh well, not to sure if he really cared, who knows. But I cherish friendships and its hard for me to see one slip away is all...
But I know it could be a worse man situation, I know friends with dipshits in their lives...:-P
Anyways, only a couple more days left!!!! Im so thrilled!! Its sad though because I know my dad is taking it kind of hard. Being overprotective father,:-)...which I know can sometimes be apart of the Fatherly Duties. But I just cant wait to venture off onto my own and be with two great friends I dont see much now! Its gonna be tubular!!
~I got a Hendrix T-shirt today while shopping...hehe I thought of you Katie Cross when I got it because I DO know songs by Jimi Hendrix :-P Im just McKidding yah!~
