If you know me, you know Monday night is "Obaachan night" and as always, we took her to one of our favorite Japanese restaurants. My grandmother (who has dementia) introduced me to our waiter Winston as her second cousin (for her, I have been her grand daughter, sister, cousin, relative, nephew…). He knows this to be untrue and asked me if it bothered me or made me sad … truthfully, I am just so grateful she is still around, so grateful that we laugh and love each other the way that we do. Someone said, don't TELL me how or who you love, just SHOW me HOW to LOVE. When she introduced me as her second cousin, she held my arm, kissed my hand, smiled big and seemed so proud. I'll take that over the "correct" title any day.
