Grandma
1 Ever since Jamie had been born, Grandma knew that she was a
special little girl. She brought it up regularly.
2 "That's what every grandmother says," Jamie's mother Daphne said.
3 "Shouldn't it be what every mother says, too?" Grandma asked.
4 "I don't have to say it. I know it! The other day I was driving Jamie to
kindergarten, and I switched on the radio. Then she asked me how many
people could fit inside it. She thought the music on the radio was coming
from a live band! Isn't that something? I thought to myself, ‘Wait till Grandma
gets a load of this!’"
5 "That girl has a vivid imagination," Grandma said. She had taught
first grade for thirty years and had developed a sixth sense about her
students. She knew which ones were extremely intelligent, which ones were
smart, and which ones were alert. She tried to cultivate those things when
she’d recognized them. Just the other day she read about one of her former
students in the news; he was now an astronaut! Another was a billionaire
who had developed computer software that was being used in every
household in America, and in many places all over the world. Yes, Grandma
knew a gifted child when she saw one. And it made her heart burst with
pride and joy when she saw her granddaughter's bright eyes, quick fingers,
and wide smile. The girl noticed everything, examining everything carefully
with her hands, and laughed easily, like her mother. Like her mother's
mother, Grandma thought, remembering how alike she and Daphne
sounded when they laughed out loud.
6 "You know, Daphne," Grandma advised her. "You should keep
reading to Jamie every night, before she goes to sleep. She's such a good
listener. I can tell that she's absorbing every new word and piece of
information that’s thrown her way. It's going to come in handy one day!"
7 "Oh, Mom, you think Jamie lets me tuck her in without a story? She's
always nagging me to read her books the way Grandma does. She doesn't
let up about doing things your way!"
8 Grandma spent the first four years of Jamie's life with her and her
mother. How delighted she had been to hold her granddaughter in her
arms, to sing to her, and to read her all the books she had loved as a child.
Never mind that Jamie was still a wee thing; she could appreciate stories by
Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte. Grandma loved the books so much she
would keep reading them out loud even after baby Jamie had fallen
asleep.
9 "We are the three generations," Grandma liked to tell Jamie, when
all three of them went to the playground together, or went for a walk after
dinner and stopped for ice cream on the way home. She said it so many
times to Jamie as a baby that one of her first words, after "Mama" and
"Gamma" (for Grandma), was "genashun," for "generation." Grandma
couldn't remember when Jamie finally said "three"—probably after she
taught Jamie how to count to fifty—and she always thought it remarkable
that Jamie had tried to say "generation" before she’d tried to say "three."
10 "That girl likes a challenge!" she remarked to Daphne often.
11 "She's going to be a challenge someday!" Daphne laughed back.
"Someday she'll be a teenager, and she won't want to listen to a word of
what I say!"
12 Grandma brushed these sorts of statements aside. "Don't think so far
ahead," she said. "Why are you worrying about her behavior ten years into
the future?"
13 Grandma loved thinking about those days all together, the three of
them, the three generations. Things had been going so smoothly that when
she went to a doctor for a regular checkup and found that there was
something in her lungs they needed to investigate further, she did not think
anything of it. But the doctors contacted her two weeks later and told her
that the tumor in her lungs was going to spread, and she'd need to check
into a hospital for a while. Grandma was devastated, as was Daphne. They
bid each other tearful good-byes, and Grandma held her darling
granddaughter in her arms for a very long time before leaving the house in
a taxi to make the long trek to the special clinic at the other side of the
state. She kept her arms in the shape of little Jamie for the entirety of the taxi
ride, until they ached. She didn't want to forget the feeling of Jamie too
soon.
14 "Promise me you'll call me every day and tell me every wonderful
thing that Jamie is doing," she said to Daphne before she left for the hospital.
"Of course I will, Mama," Daphne said. "We're the three generations, after
all."
