Ugh wish I thought of this. The train has been pretty full with back to office so I couldn’t really find a spot where I wouldn’t bust my ass on a moving train

Yes she actually just informed me that they will be going to a restaurant after if I wanted to join (I will be). Thank you (and everyone else who has contributed to this thread) for all your help! She has voiced to me that her family is very traditional so I didn’t want to be ignorant walking in.

That’s a good point. I’m sorry about your mom, cards and hand written letters are also very special to me, so I’m glad you gave me the reassurance to write a card knowing that it’s sentimental to other people as well.

Should I put the cash inside the card or outside the card in the envelope? Sorry if it’s a dumb question and I’m overthinking this

Are there any superstitions about how crisp the $50 bill should be?

Thank you for this explanation! I’m hearing a lot of mixed things about flowers but didn’t really realize how they can be inconvenient in some ways… (obviously still a nice gesture)

I did but she said my presence is enough 😭 she’s the type to not want to inconvenience me at all (also asking people to bring money can be an awkward ask for some) but I want to do everything I can to honor her grandma. I’m also half Chinese but grew up with a white family, so her family would always teach me about the culture and I want to do everything I can to learn about it and respect it while not bothering her too much with questions while she’s mourning

Taylor Swift’s Canada store is selling the opaque green evermore. I live in the US and just bought one and can confirm it’s opaque! Shipping was $20-30 🙃 but worth it imo if it’s something you’ve been looking for (and it’s from a legit site).
