The old hometown looks the same as i set down from the plane

I'm glad I got to talk to my grandma. It's her birthday today. She said they'd been out to eat and had just had cake and she and her daughters were sitting around the table talking. I can picture it, down to the way the light shines off the table. Even as it hurts to be so far away, it helps to know that some things go on the same as I know they should.
