Kim, a woman in her 20s, turned to a grandmother for dating advice. This was not the gentle kind of grandmother who tells people what they want to hear. Her advice was blunt enough to serve as a wake-up call for Kim.
Kim could not forget her first love, an ex-boyfriend. When she heard rumors that he might break up with his current girlfriend, she wondered whether she should wait for him. After hearing her story, the grandmother said bluntly.
“Get a grip. There are plenty of men in the world,” she said.
“But there is only one of him,” Kim said, still unable to let go. The grandmother seemed to have been waiting for that answer.
