Austin's high school graduation. He very much wanted his grandma to attend graduation, the biggest moment in his young life and when we broached the subject to her, I thought it was possible that it could work. If the stars aligned, she'd have a good day and 8 o'clock at night wouldn't be well past her bed time. Unfortunately the closer we got to the date, the scarier it became for her and we finally told her that we'd have a special graduation celebration just for her. We brought her out to our favorite Westbank eatery, hibachi is always good for a laugh, she's constantly surprised by the show the chef puts on and it's always new, a nice side effect of Alzheimer's I suppose. Of course, it didn't disappoint because she had two daughters and three or by her count, four (our NJ friend became an honorary grandson for the day) grandsons and a son-in-law. You should know that she definitely prefers the company of men, though she doesn't eschew that of women. We've got to take these moments whenever we can get them, every smile, every laugh and at least this time, she didn't ask the Chef whether he was an "American."
