At The Will Reading, My Mom Gave My Brother The Mountain Cabin And Told Me To 'Go Earn My Own.' Then… I had been close to my grandfather in the way that some people are close to one person in their family in a way that doesn't require explanation — a closeness that exists outside the family's official story of itself, in the margins, in the early morning conversations and the long drives and the specific silences that only develop between two people who have spent real time together. His name was Bernard Kowalski and he had built the mountain cabin with his brother in 1974 and he had loved it in a way that was almost embarrassing, the open undisguised way that unsentimental people sometimes love physical places, as if the place is the one thing they've agreed to be honest about. #revenge #revengestories #familydramas
