My father had left behind an old piano. My sister was already going to school, my mother was out working, and I stayed at home alone with my adorable grandmother who understood nothing I said. It was so boring that I stayed at the piano all day long, and that saved my life. ↗

I wish I had a talent for dropping things as well as taking on new ones. It gets to be quite a clutter after a while. ↗
