翻譯：

八歲的時候，我們一家從開羅搬到了伊利諾斯州的弗農(nóng)山，從此遠離了祖母。我非常想念她。大家說我是她最疼愛的孫女，而她也是我最愛的奶奶。她，是爸爸的母親。

兩年后，爸爸媽媽分居，很快他們便離婚了。我覺得我的世界好像崩潰了。原本屬于我生活的一部分正在遠去，這讓我心痛不已。媽媽一定感覺到了我的'渴望，于是她時常帶我和弟弟去看奶奶，即使是在離婚之后。

我一直知道奶奶深愛著我們。即使在你的世界被徹底顛覆時，這種愛也是可以用心感受的到的。

她住的房子并不豪華，也沒有貴重的東西，但我從沒在意過這些，我只知道她愛我，而我也愛她。

曾經(jīng)有一段時間，我們和爺爺奶奶一起住在一棟復(fù)式公寓，當(dāng)時爸爸參加了二戰(zhàn)。

奶奶從來沒有很多錢，物質(zhì)上的東西也不多。但正是一些小事讓我記憶深刻。比如那只總是放在桌上的糖碗，她曾經(jīng)讓我把手指伸進去蘸著吃，她還把自己的咖啡給我喝。這些時候，她都允許我坐在餐桌上。

奶奶耐心地向我解釋過天氣風(fēng)向標(biāo)的功能，它掛在墻上，用以預(yù)測未來的天氣。風(fēng)向標(biāo)上的木制小男孩和小女孩怎么知道從哪個門出來，什么時候會下雨，這些都讓我覺得驚奇。但是奶奶都懂。

她還有一個在我看來很漂亮的醋瓶，放在高高的架子上。我曾問過她有一天能不能把這個瓶給我。在她的葬禮過后，這個瓶子被放在一個盒子里交給了我。她還記得我說的話，愛就是這樣。

我們在開羅的復(fù)式公寓跟爺爺奶奶住隔壁的時候，我經(jīng)常和奶奶呆在一起。但是時光飛逝，物是人非。爺爺去世了，我們住在一百英里之外，而爸爸——她最小的兒子——也不和我們住在一起了。我和爸爸見面不多，也不知道奶奶是不是經(jīng)常見他。但是，他是她的兒子，我知道她愛他。愛就是這樣，它能夠超越痛苦。

盡管她和我們一樣都不寬裕，但還是盡己所能地為我和弟弟湯米做些事情。我永遠都會記得；她把零錢存放在一個玻璃罐中。我知道奶奶本可以花掉這些零錢，但是她卻總是把它們攢下來，在我們?nèi)タ赐臅r候分給我們。我是姐姐，所以負責(zé)把這些零錢平分給弟弟和自己。

“一個給你，一個給我，”我一直重復(fù)這句話，直到罐子里的硬幣分完為止。

我記不得這些零錢我們總共拿過多少，其實數(shù)目并不重要。它是一份心意，表示我們不在奶奶身邊的時候，她還記掛著我們，關(guān)心著我們。在需要愛的鼓勵的日子里，這些童年記憶還能給我溫暖的模糊的感覺。多年來，奶奶的愛一直跟隨著孫女，甚至直到孫女自己也做了奶奶。經(jīng)過這些年，每當(dāng)我運氣好，發(fā)現(xiàn)地上躺著一枚硬幣時，我還常常會想，它或許是奶奶從天堂拋給我的。
