My three-year-old granddaughter fell from her bike onto the road

before I could catch her. Emily lay there for a moment, guessing her

chances of survival. Finding the chances were in her favor, she sat up

with a smile that quickly turned into tears when she saw the blood on her

knee. I took her in my arms, saying words of comfort as I carried her into

the house to mend her hurt.

With much comfort, she let me wash and put ointment on her knee. I

kissed her cheek. ―All better now, sweetie?‖

―No, Grandma, you must say the Mommy words,‖she said. I

quickly ran a list of Mommy words through my mind: Please? Thank you?

I love you? ―You know, Grandma. Mommy says them to make me all better.‖Emily took a deep breath and recited (朗诵), ―A little kiss, a

little hug, I give you these, with all my love.‖

My mind raced and I remembered. It was the same little song that I

had said to my children, my mother to me, and her mother to her. My grandmother had died when my mother was eight. There had been

nothing left but her dear memories. When she became a mother herself,

she passed on the gentle love of her mother and the ―Mommy words‖

that made all bad things go away and only the good remain. Hearing it

now, I realized that though I had never met my grandmother, I did know

her. We were mothers —we were connected at the heart.

I heard my grandmother’s, my mother’s, my daughter’s, my granddaughter’s, and my own voice mixing through time.

―Don’t cry, Grandma. I am all better.‖Emily and I kissed and hugged,

and said the Mommy words to each other.
