So today I went to see my grandpa and it was a little different from all the other times that i have gone.  Whenever i come home I usually go to see if he needs me to take him anywhere so that my mother won't have to, but surprisingly today he needed to go nowhere.  So now what do I do?  I just got here.  I can't leave.  He hasn't seen me for three weeks.  What am I supposed to do?  So, I stayed for awhile. He enticed me with food: an Argentine pear and a Cameo apple.  Like we don't have any fruit at home.

When this happens I usually just sit, watch some television or read a book but today was different because I sort of had a conversation with my grandfather.  As of now we still don't speak a same language, but we both can understand Spanish, Armenian, and English.  The conversation, which was mostly in Spanish, was him lecturing and me listening and I understood all of it.  Everything that he was trying to say, I understood, I got, I was able to come home and tell my parents about.  I can blog about it, but I won't.  The only parts worth blogging were the importance of Spanish and maybe what nutrients almonds have (magnesium, vitamin B6, calcium).  But, what Ago and I have is a sort of emotional bond.  Words don't have to express what we are thinking or feeling, our emotions explain it.  But how? He knew that i understood what he was saying, and I knew that he knew that I just understood--if that sentence makes any sense at all.  

AGHHH!!!!  I am having difficulty explaining this "deep emotional stuff."  Maybe i'll just stick to entertaining stories and save the rest for a book.
