"So much of my life I have let slip by, because I have not attended to it. All this while, instead of seeking more time, I could have been paying attention. I notice it now, my present: my grandson’s kind face, his warm hand in mine, and the smell and sensation—here the words, in any language, fail—of being alive. Chinese is a language that exists in the present tense. In this way, it is unlike English, a language in which it is easy to say: I had a past, I will have a future. When I adopted English as my own I lived so much in the hope of what was to come."

The multiple perspectives was interesting, but by the end, I lost the plot on the mom and son, and really only felt for the grandma.
