My 101-Year-Old Grandmother Hadn’t Left Bed in Two Years—Then She Came to My Daughter’s Birthday With a Locked Red Suitcase and Said, “Take Off Her Left Sock”
I keep the suitcase unlocked now.
The padlock rests inside.
Emma once asked:
“Why don’t you lock it?”
I said:
“Because there’s nothing in there we need to hide.”
She accepted that.
Simple.
