Share

dear friends,

i’m grateful that you are here.
my grandma iris died at 91 in march of 2020.
here is an exchange i had with her back around this time in 2017!
i love her and i love you and i thank you for receiving!

once, i shared this scene on social media:

"you must have been high when you thought of that joke... can i get some of that"
"no that's just my brain"
"ok fine can i get some of your brain then"
"yes this is it"


my grandma iris commented:

”No one should do ‘drugs.’
Only what doctors prescribe and I am not so sure about that.
The doctors can kill you.”
