When I was eight years old, my family moved from Edinburgh to London because father started a new job there. It was hundreds of miles away from my grandmother, so we sometimes spent hours
______ to Edinburgh to visit her when we missed her terribly.
Grandmother never had much. She didn't have
______ things, or live in a nice house, but I could feel with my
______ that she loved us deeply, especially when my world was turned upside down
______ my mother and father divorced(离婚) two years later.
I still remember those little things, Grandmother allowed me to sit on top of her
______ table, getting me to dip(蘸) my fingers in the sugar bowl or
______ from her coffee cup. Grandmother had a beautiful bottle high on a shelf. One day after her
______, I received a box. To my surprise, I found the
______ inside. She remembered once I had asked her for it.
Grandmother
______ her pennies(便士) in a glass jar. She could use those pennies herself but she kept
______ for my brother Tommy and me. And I was always
______ to divide the pennies between my brother and me. “One for you, one for me,” I would repeat(重复)
______ the jar was empty. I don't remember how much we got on our visits, but I know that's
______ she loved us and cared about us when we were far away from her. So if I am
______ enough to find a penny lying on the ground one day, I am sure it is just the one from Grandmother in heaven(天堂).
Those childhood memories have never gone away from me. Instead, they still give me warm feelings through the years. A grandmother's
______ stays with a grandchild as long as he needs it. You know, love is just like that.
