Exact meaning and function of 冒頭のような


In がばいばあちゃん, I came across the phrase 冒頭のような, which I had a little trouble
translating, as I couldn't quite make out its exact meaning and function. It
comes from the following extract.

> そして俺は、冒頭のような、ばあちゃんとの暮らしの中から、人間の本当の幸せというものを学んできたように思う。

I had a crack at translating this with the following result.

> As for me, living alongside her and seeing things from there, as if I were
> right up close, I got to learn about true human happiness, I think.




冒頭 always refers to the first part/chapter of a story/article. So 冒頭のような暮らし
means something like "my life as described in the first part (of this story)."
