Dr. Todd Rose

And that's what we started doing.

Instead of just playing Yahtzee, we'd go to Sizzler.

And that went on for six years.

Okay.

So in 2015, we found out she was dying.

And I went back to Utah where I was born to say goodbye to her.

And I was preparing, I was like, my last conversation I'm ever going to have with this woman that meant the world to me.

And I'm holding her hand and we're talking about a lot of things.

And I thought, you know, I want to just let her know how transformative those sleepovers were to me.

And I said, you know, grandma, I just want to tell you all those times sleeping over.

She's like, barely can get a word out.

And she says, she touches my arm.

She says, I know, I know what mattered most to you.

It was going to Sizzler.

And I was like, wait, what?

And I didn't have the heart to be like, I didn't like that at all, right?

But she said, just to be honest, your grandpa and I didn't really like going to Sizzler, but we knew it meant a lot to you.

So I'm sitting there thinking, wait, we all ended up going to Sizzler once a month for six years because we all thought we all wanted to go to Sizzler when nobody actually did.

Again, I'd have the heart to tell her on her deathbed that she could have me for a bologna sandwich.

But that kind of like, nobody was manipulating anyone.
