Well so this has turned out to me one of the happiest days of my life. I went to lunch with my grandma by myself. No translator, no Chinese speaking relatives to save me when I hit a vocabulary pothole and couldn’t figure out how to complete my sentences…
I did it. And now I think I am going to cry. I talked with my grandma, and though we didn’t get to anything deep and philosophical, it’s a start. And she refused to let me pay for lunch.
