our house

2009-2015

“Where are we going today, Granddad?”—I kept asking my grandfather. “Well,” my grandfather said, “we are going to a place called “Stay at Home Lilly.”I took my grandfather’s promise seriously. I was sitting on the bench waiting for him to take me to the place called “Stay at Home Lilly” the whole afternoon. I imagined this place as the most beautiful place in the world. The most mysterious place. A place that only my grandfather knew. Finally I couldn’t wait any longer and asked him, “When do we start, Granddad?” He looked at me and burst out in a laugh. He said, “We are not going anywhere Lilly. “Stay at Home” is here. It is the place where we are. He did lie to me. My Granddad lied to me. I heard myself shouting: “No! No! It can’t happen!” I felt sad and humiliated. Only later did I realize that he was right. Because this is the most beautiful place in the world. This is the most mysterious place. And this is the place where I can learn the most important things in life: to love people and nature. Tenderness. Peace. Everything.
