Things my grandmother told me

Years ago my grandma gave me some insights about marriage. Let me preface them by saying I wasn't asking, she was just telling, and I have no idea how the conversation started (I think it may have been a discussion on gay marriage).

Grandma: "Marriage is really hard."

Later in the conversation....

Grandma: "It is tough growing old by yourself."

She also asked me to marry someone she understands and gets. And I like to think that NYC-bred B from a democratic, pro-union family is someone she gets and understands.

she does like brendan very much. especially since he tolerates our sometimes disconcerting conversations about our family medical history
