She squeezes my ankle. "Your Dada used to ask me the same thing."
"Did you have an answer for him?"
My grandma laughs lightly and looks at her bedside table. A photo of her, Dada, and the rest of our family is framed there. "Of course not. I don't think he was ever genuinely asking. Life is hard because it is. There's no easy answer. It's just a matter whether we're willing to face the hardships. Even when life was hard, your grandpa was always willing to face it with me."/>

" Dad, why is life so hard?" I ask, flopping onto her pillows.
She squeezes my ankle. "Your Dada used to ask me the same thing."
"Did you have an answer for him?"
My grandma laughs lightly and looks at her bedside table. A photo of her, Dada, and the rest of our family is framed there. "Of course not. I don't think he was ever genuinely asking. Life is hard because it is. There's no easy answer. It's just a matter whether we're willing to face the hardships. Even when life was hard, your grandpa was always willing to face it with me. "
