Question

We had moved from Cairo to Mt. Vernon Illinois away from my grandmother when I was eight years old. I missed her  36 . I was told I was her favorite grandchild; she was my favorite granny. Mother must have sensed my  37 for she would take my little brother and me back to visit my Granny on occasions.
She didn’t live in a big house or have expensive things but I never  38  it; I just knew she loved me and I loved her back.
We had lived for a time next door to her  39  my father was away during World War II.
Granny had never had very much in the way of  40  or material things. But it was the little things she gave me that had always  41 . Things like letting me dip my fingers in the sugar bowl or the coffee she let me drink from her  42 _. She allowed me to sit on top of her kitchen table to enjoy those privileges.
She also had a vinegar bottle that sat high on a shelf that was  43 in my eyes; I asked if I could have it someday. It was given to me in a box after her  44 . She remembered in her last days; love is like that.
She didn’t have much;  45  did we. But she did something for my brother and me. I will always remember she  46  her pennies in a glass jar. I am sure Granny could have used those pennies herself  47  she saved them to give us when we came to  48  her.
I don’t remember how much we  49  on our visits nor was the  50  important. It was the idea that she remembered us and cared about us when we were away from her.
Those  51 of when I was a child still give me  52  feelings now. I often wonder after all those years when I am lucky enough to find a  53  lying on the ground  54 if it could possibly be Granny tossing me pennies from  55 .
